    What do you people who have the 4pin iLink connector (like the 3201XCi has) use to connect with a regular firewire device, like an iPod? I want to connect my 3201XCi to my iPod. What should I get to be able to do this?

    What type of Firewire cable does the iPod have (how many pins)? If the pin cound is just different, just buy an adapter that changes the connector from an X number of pins to 4 pins. Also, the iPods have a USB 2.0 connector/cable included, why don't you just use that to connect to your 3201XCi? USB 2.0 is also faster than Firewire.
