Connecting via firewire with logic 3 I-Station

Hi i have a video 60gig black ipod i have just invested in a i-station for it to link to my pc via firewire but i keep getting a message " Firewire connections are not supported.To transfer songs, Connect the usb cable provided press centre to dismiss" i would use the usb cable provided but i bought the i-station 2nd hand & got it really cheap as the usb lead was not with it the support for the i-station i have to say were great i explained all this & they are sending out a usb lead free of charge but most of my pc's connections are firewire i do a lot of music production so i have mostly firewire ports so as a preference i would like to find a way to use the i-station via firewire any help would be great thanx
