USB to FireWire adapter?

[macrospect]

Is there such thing as an adapter that will allow me to plug a FireWire device into the USB 2.0 port on my computer? If so any ideas where I can get one?

Thanks!

EDIT: Forgot to add I need it to be a FireWire 6 pin adapter (not the mini 4).

Yes, but they are like $130. Certainly you have some other option than a straight USB to IEEE-1394 adapter? Do you have a PCI slot open? PC Card (aka PCMCIA aka Cardbus)?

Well, my problem is I am string to connect a device that is approx. 20 feet away from my PC. Since they do not make firewire cables that long I wanted to connect a USB cable to the device instead.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, maybe ill just get a powered FireWire hub. That will allow me to extend the FireWire distance- so that I can reatch my device.
