Modding iSight to USB...help

[1v4n]

Hi everybody.

I have a question about converting the G5 iMac's iSight module I got off ebay to USB.

I managed to do the same with Macbook's bluetooth module, but the voltage is the thing concerning me.
In BT module case, I had to convert 5V from USB to 3.3V so it wouldn't fry the module.

I plan to cut off the weird Apple connector off this iSight module I have, there are 4 wires (black, green, white and red) that will be soldered onto an USB cable. I guess these are the standard USB wire colors so I just need to know what voltage to use. Full 5V from USB or I have to reduce it.

Thanks in advance!

I think that the G5 iSight module used a FireWire interface to the computer, not a USB interface. I'm mainly going off of the fact that the connector looks like a 4-pin mini FireWire 400 connector.

However, given the wire colors, it could also be USB. I'd be curious to have a look in System Profiler on a G5 and see what bus the camera shows up under.
