Alright. This is bound to get complicated, so I'll do my best to keep it simple.
I have the following:
1. 60GB iPod photo (aka 4G)
2. Apple iPod Camera Connector
3. Original firewire power adapter
4. FW+USB cable (power over FW, data over USB)
I want to power the iPod via its firewire connection while transferring photos via the USB connection. I am missing one piece, though, and I'm on the verge of being forced to bust out the soldering iron and engineer me a solution.
I basically want to be able to bridge this connection:
That's a standard(-ish) dock connector on one end and a standard USB connector on the other. Anyone know of an adapter that'll do the trick? If not, I'm probably going to buy a dock or something and gut it for the right adapter(s).
Thanks.
