    Non-functioning 3pin Firewire?!?

    I have recently acquired a Dell Inspirion 8200, and when attempting to connect my iPod through the 3 Pin firewire it registers nothing... I have installed all of Dell's drivers etc for it so there shouldn't be an issue there... My iPod is 3G so firewire is prefferable... and the fact I don't want to shell out 20 bloody pounds on a USB cable that cost 50p to manufacture...

    Cheers

    the fact that its a 3 pin cable might be the problem, some firewire devices refuse to work on the mini laptop firewire ports and only work on the full size ports.
