| usb 2 firewire adapter
I have a PowerbookG4 that has 2 usb ports. When trying to connect an external 2.5" HDD it uses both of the existing USB ports leaving me no ports free. I was thinking to use a USB 2 Firewire adapter so i can plug in the drive in the Firewire port. Is there such an adapter and has anyone ever used it this way?

To the best of my knowledge, plus a Google search, there is no USB-Firewire adaptor for Mac. You would be better off using a powered USB hub for your external hard drive; or buying a firewire capable external drive. For portability, there is a battery-powered external USB hub by Cyberpower.
