I have been looking all over for a company that makes a Firewire flash/thumb drive.

The closest I came was this:
http://www.macitynet.it/immagini/vis...wflashdr.shtml

The site is in Spansish and doesn't mention the manufacturer (report from MWNY2003).

I scanned these forums but came up empty.

Does anyone own or know where I can get my hands on one of these rare beauties? I would buy a USB 2.0, but my iBook 600 lacks this port.

Help!

I picked up a Wiebetech FireWire keychain drive last year, it works great and is pretty small. It might not be what you're looking for, but it was the only FW flash drive I could find at the time. I eventually ended up going with a USB2 flash drive for my current setup.

IIRC, the Wiebetech Firewire keychain drive is no longer listed in the manufacturer's website, last I looked.

I remember seeing it in the ads all over MacNN.com last time
