Question about IPOD before I go buy one

[red_ryder 0]

On Apple's website it states that IPOD requires either Firewire or a USB 2.0 connection. Has anyone used it on a USB 1.1 port? My old PC doesn't have USB 2.0 or firewire.

no problems with it. i'm using it with usb 1.1 works well.. this is my experience.

 

5GB of songs takes roughly 2 hours.. u go work out the timing and file transfers.. hope it helps.

Franky speaking, think it's better to get a USB2.0/FireWire PCI card as it's only around 10 mins for 5GB of songs using FireWire. You save more time in this way.

Yupz... kinda agree on getting a USB 2.0 port!!! ipod is so slow with USB 1.1 port on my com!! =p

neway, it does work perfectly well on a USB 1.1 port... just tt it will be slower to accomodate the USB 1.1 port

AFAIK it does. http://www.8flags.com.sg/

 

I think students from other tertiary institutions qualify for this offer too.
