I want connected iPod to run off battery

Since my iPod's battery duration is much longer than my PowerBook's, I'd prefer to have my iPod running off of its own juice while it's plugged in as an external hard drive. Is there a way I can disable the power portion of my Firewire port, or force the iPod to run on its battery? I'm guessing I could do something like 6-to-4, male/male adapter, 4-to-6, to connect the data but not the power, but that's not viable given that I don't have the cables or the inclination.
