PCMCIA Firewire Cards

i've got this cheap-o, off-brand firewire card for my laptop. my ipod keeps giving me this trash about its disk being full when its not. is it really that important to have a high quality (high quality=expensive) firewire card?

Hey,

I bought a cheap card off ebay....well I expected a card that looked like the one I wanted but got this generic yellow one instead!!

I was worried, but it works. I have had no trouble with it. If you think it's the card, get another from a friend and give it a whirl. If the pod problem still persists then you know it's the pod or your computer. You can try linking your ipod to another computer too, and then you can rule out where the porblem is.

In sum, it is great to have a great card but some of the cheapies are good enough....hopefully your card is not good and the ipod is okay....and thus, need only to replace your firewire card.

I know this was not much help but hey, I be trying!!

It not the card so that not the problem(I have a cheap card myself and it works great & got it from Ebat too) but are you reading the amount on available space from the Ipod or from the computer. Sometimes it will stuck in the ipod reading itself that it is well let say 3gig left but it really 15gig. It not a big problem but it can happen if you have a problem loading files into it and it cuz it to stick on the last reading on it even after you upload or remove songs from it. Just restore the factory setting to it to fix the problem. It worked for me but it will erase all the songs on it so you need to reloaded but it does fix the problem.
