The iPod is compatible with the OrangeLink CardBus PC Card. It does require power on the FireWire bus to operate. Recently shipping OrangeLink CardBus PC Cards have a power jack between its two FireWire ports. This optional power supply is available at http://www.1394firestation.com/. Workaround: Start the iPod in FireWire Drive Mode. This way no power is required from the OrangeLink CardBus PC Card. Hold down Menu and Play button to force a reboot. While booting, hold down the Fast Forward and Rewind button to force the iPod to start as a FireWire drive. A FireWire logo should come up on the screen. Plug the iPod in the OrangeLink CardBus PC Card and VOILA!
