With ethernet there are hubs and switches, with the latter being better.
Is there a firewire switch? Or are all firewire hubs more or less the same. I don't have any free PCI slots, otherwise I would just install a new Firewire Card or FW800 card.
Anyone out there using a Firewire hub?

Yes, a Belkin 4-port (somewhat misleading as all the ports are equivalent, so only 3 are available to connect peripherals, unlike USB hubs). I had bought it originally to see if it would solve Firewire problems with my TiBook/400 and OS X. It didn't, but I kept it for the convenience anyway.
I do not like those green links and spam.
I do not like them, Sam I am.

Well, I found a 10 port firewire hub for $40 shipped. Hopefully it does the trick.
