Guys, please help me!

ok, my pc has no firewire port. my pc just has a usb port that's it. it doesn't have no 6 pin or 4 pin port. sorry to be a computer illiterate but today i bought a cable that connects to a usb port to a 4 pin IEEE 1394 port. i used the converter that came with the ipod. and hooked everything up but still no sign of connection. i'm looking at websites on firewire cable kits and they don't look like they will fit on my pc cause it has no port for it. can anyone tell me what to do?

Someone will answer you better - maybe Adam or someone - but it is by understanding that you will need the VIA chipset.
My first card was a cheapy and it did not work - i borrowed a friends - which was VIA and it worked.

Sorry I can't help more!

MonkeyIceCube: I wouldn't go as far as to say the VIA Chipset is "needed" but it's recommended. Time and time again it's been proven to work better with the iPods while remaining inexpensive.
