This surprises me. I'm sure I've seen one before, although after a hunt around on the net there's talk of one which has been discontinued.

I guess it's the flaky nature of USB and no one wants to guarantee you the fixed rate you need for Firewire.

You can, however, get combined USB and Firewire hubs which connect up using USB. Although I don't know whether they've actually got a way around the constant rate issue or whether they just hope for the best. Again, dunno if there are ones with Mac drivers...
