I'm considering getting my sister an iPod nano for her birthday, but I have some questions concerning compatibility.
She has a 350MHz iMac (c.2000). No FireWire, no USB 2, and running OS 9 (no, OS X is not an option). Would any current iPod work at all with such a system? Apple lists 10.3.2 as the minimum OS, but...I've come to distrust all companies, even Apple, about that kind of thing.
And if it would work, how long would it take to fill up 2GB on a USB 1 connection? In theory it should be able to finish is 23 minutes (1.5MB per second), but I'm guessing you wouldn't get that speed in the real world.
