Yes, it will work with the Dell and a 4 pin connector - but you will need a powered cable - FireJuice makes one that allows you to plug in power to support the end device. - they make a 4 pin to 6 pin with a lump on the cable where you can plug in an iPod supply or similar.


I have to use a PC Laptop for work and switch between it and my Powerbook - maybe someday the PC Laptop makers will wake up and put powered 6 pin 1394 ports on them. BTW, the iSight works great on my Dell with XP Pro - but just as a camera. Maybe someday someone will create real drivers for this. I would hope Apple would have - as many of their customers have both systems and would like to use the iSight on both.

    Hmm. So in order to use the iSight with a PC laptop, I must buy FireJuice for $21 and an iPod PowerSupply for $49 ($20 on ebay) -- and then I can only use the iSight hear an electricity outlet, correct?

    Is there a USB-to-6-pin-firewire pure-power cord that would allow me to draw power from the USB port on my laptop to put into FireJuice?

    Are there are PC Cards that give me powered firewire outlets? I could not find one from a quick web search.
