Can you connect USB to a Firewire Port?
At first no as they are separate technologies (USB- Universal Serial Bus, Firewire- IEEE 1394a/Firewire 400), so you cannot connect a usb to a firewall or visa versa. There are ways however. These include purchasing two expansion cards (PCI, ISA or SCSI depending on the type and space left on your motherboard). OR purchasing a Hub/adapter that connects in either a USB or Firewire port, and accommodates at least one USB and one Firewire port. However, there is also a newer type of Firewire (Firewire 800) which is under the standard of IEEE 1894b. This offers double the speed in transfer compared to the IEEE 1394a, however neither a USB cable of anytype (USB, or USB 2.0) or Firewire 1394a cable can fit into a 1894b port or visa versa. There may well be hubs/adapters for these too. USB and Firewire- Both are Serial Ports. Both offering Plug and Play/Hot Swapping capabilities (Depending on your Computer's hardware and software). Hope this Helps J
