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

How do I go about getting it?

Ben.

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

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

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

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