Hi Wilton. I suspect you mean firewire ports. I have used a firewire hub but was not that happy with it. It seemed to cause some confusion on the firewire bus. Mine was inexpensive. Your mileage may vary with other hubs.
An easier solution might be to daisy chain the drives. If your drive enclosures have more than one firewire port, try plugging one drive into the back of the other. This should free up one of the firewire ports on your eMac.
