Is it possible to upgrade a USB 1.1 port to USB 2.0 port or
USB 1.1 to a FIREWIRE with either an external piece
hardware or software solution in a Windows platform
LAPTOP system so a Windows based IPOD can be used at
the faster USB 2.0 speed or with a firewire?? If so,
what might that solution be?
 
Your help would be greatly appreciated ASAP....
 
Thanks

I dont think.
It might be possible with PCMCIA card

Thanks for the information.  I myself thought the same.  Since posting this, I have found out the Apple makes a firewire PCMCIA card for a windows based OS laptop.  Please feel free to pass this info on to anyone else who might have the same question/issue.
 
Thanks again Edvardas!  Happy New Year to you and yours.

wouldn't these work?

There's some additional "serious" answers in the Other forum- where you posted originally.
