here's a possible solution, though pricey:

http://www.megamacs.com/v1/?action=view&pid=1262183&criteria=imac%20firewire

in case that link doesn't work... (or loads slowly as when i tested it)

search on "imac firewire" and look for

"Sonnet Harmoni G3 600MHz Upgrade for Tray loading iMacs"


(nose around dealmac.com as well, that's where i started.)
