There's only one multi-card FireWire card reader on the market that I was able to find. I bought one and tested it, found it somewhat slow, returned it. Slower than using an SD->CF card adapter in a standard CF card reader in fact. I would suggest using the latter strategy, it works well. With fast cards, you can get up to about [EMAIL PROTECTED] transfer rate with the mittoni.com or psism.com adapters.
