Check though as I'm not 100% sure.

Yes, they have. If you plug them in with an iPod Firewire cable, it comes up with a "Firewire not supported" error message.

He is. Fastest you get is 12mb/s and thats rubbish for transfering stuff to your ipod.

One of the lads at work mentioned updating the driver to get higher speed out of my current usb 1.0 but I reckon he's talking pish - is he?

Fastest firewire is 800mb/s but as above, i'd check which connections your ipod has as the dropped it.

Usb 1.0 is something like 12mb/s and 2.0 is 480mb/s.
Quite a bit faster.

Any idea what the transfer speed difference is between usb 1.0 and 2.0?

Should be yip, make sure it has drivers for whatever OS you are using but that shoudln't be a problem either.

Usb 2.0 pci card, I would personally go to ebay, shouldn't cost more than about a tenner.

I have USB but not USB 2.0 which I could do with for my iPod.

How do I go about getting it?
