Converter from Firewire to USB

Pythia

Hey, I did a search but couldn't find anything so here goes:
I have one of the old iPods. Like this



It uses firewire which is fine for my home PC, but my laptop only has USB. So is there a firewire to UBS converter out there and how much is it?

Also how do I put the iPod software onto my laptop if I've lost the CD. It's one of the old ones so can you still find it on the net?

Thanks

While it would be possible to make such a device, the powers that be don't seem to bother. If it's for a laptop why not go for a Firewire Pcmcia card such as this, or the equivilent that works in your laptop. It is properly cheaper then what you would pay for a firewire-usb converter if such a thing exists and proberly a better job anyway.

As for the software, is it itunes your looking for or was there a different software for the earlier ones? Will itunes not work with the older ones?

Well when I got my iPod, there was no iTunes for Windows, so you used Musicmatch. But isn't there software like a driver etc for connecting the iPod to the computer. So there's no little converter thing you just plug in then? Maybe I should invent one...

You can use USB on laptop with this software and USB Sveta



I nearly sure you can......nearly

But it treats the ipod as a HD.
