Wow
i never knew this 'putting in disc mode' either.
It now is recognized through firewire too, i even bought a dual firewire/usb cable to get this to work.. (Firewire would charge the ipod while synching, the usb cable would synch but not charge, the firewire cable wouldn't recognize the ipod
so i eventually found a dual cable to be able to charge through the firewire (driver disabled in device manager) and synch through usb..)
I was a bit unsure about this, since the ipod was not recognized anymore in windoze.
I hope there will be updated versions for this
