In individual cases, for example, if you are looking for an adapter to connect a Sony camcorder directly to a USB hard drive via Firewire, then you can find a working solution. So if you buy a simple Firewire-USB adapter or USB.Firewire-IEEE-1394 adapter, as you can find it on Amazon, you will find that the reviews are consistently lousy, because in most cases they just don't work. This is because the protocols that the two interfaces work with are incompatible. Do you have a Firewire device and want to connect it to a Mac or PC with a USB port? Then you have a challenge ahead of you, which unfortunately cannot be solved so easily with an adapter.
