Hi Severin & Tony, I actually have a Belkin firewire hub - the old style, looks like this: <http://www.welovemacs.com/f5u526slv.html>
I haven't used it that much (even less now that my external HD is fw800). It tends to get used now just as a firewire cable extender if I'm too lazy to move things around. If either of you wants to give me $40 for it, I can probably live without it (just move things within single cable reach when I need to!) and you can pick it up here in Albany! It was working fine last time I used it (few weeks ago) and we would check it is still working before you took it - but it is a few years old - so if you want a warranty you would be better paying the price to get a new one!
