I've just been experimenting with my lexar fire wire card reader and ipod
(with OSX and image capture installed.)

The first, impossible to solve, problem is that the fire wire port on the
iPod does not seem to be a powered port. The card reader normally takes
power from the computer fire wire port and needs power of some sort to make
it work. 

Looks like this is one problem Apple will have to solve some point in the
future.
