A few weeks ago, there was an interesting post on here.

It was for a little adaptor that would convert the dock connector on a new iPod in to a standard firewire socket.

Does this actually exist? ....or was it just vapourware.

It would be nice to be able to use nice thick firewire cables, rather than the flimsy cable that apple supply. ....which I'm bound to trap in a closing door sometime soon.
