Ah yes, I did google but I forgot groups.google.com

Oh well, back to the desktop I suppose. I just went and bought the cheapest
firewire card I could - Lucent DV1000LE, for GBP10 *including* a 2m firewire
cable! - and it's recognised by FreeBSD 4.8 as "Lucent FW322/323". So it
looks like I can get the iPod after all :-)

Many thanks,

Brian.
