Hi all
I got a couple of months ago an iPod from Bolle in near mint condition (BTW, he's a great guy, great seller too!).
I planned to use it with my iMac G3, but iTunes requires 9.2.2. It has 9.0 and I don't plan on upgrading its SSW. I later got a Quad G5 which "works" but will overheat really fast (I plan on refurbishing its LCS but I can't do that right now). These are my only two firewire 400 machines...
I have a couple modern macs, 2x old gen rMBP and a 2016 Macbook. I like to have one iOS device per computer and the 2016 Macbook's the only one I haven't linked to an iDevice yet.
So I wonder, would it be possible to use the original iPod with the latest version of iTunes using a firewire 400 to usb adapter (the Macbook only has one USB type-C port which does NOT support Thunderbolt)?
Any ideas if that works?
