I just came across this Macally USB/Firewire hub (part number HUB-UF) <http://www.macally.com/spec/usb/input_device/hubuf.html> "This ice white USB2.0 and FireWire Combo hub is designed for users who would like to connect both USB 2.0 (OSX) / USB 1.1 (OS9.x) and FireWire devices easily to their computer." It says that it will work with "Any desktop or notebook computer with an available USB port and FireWire port" I'm guessing that it passes through the USB and firewire rather than being a firewire to USB 2.0 converter but I'd love to be wrong. Has anyone played with one of these? Andrew in Ann Arbor technology is the answer, what was the question?
