This may be a dumb question, but....
I have a Rev B iMac System 9.04 with 160Mg Ram. I just purchased a VST USB/Firewire Drive. If I hook the USB port to my Rev B iMac, can use the Firewire Ports on the VST drive to download Digital Video and edit it with iMovie?

Nope, sorry.
I don't think so anyway.
First of all USB can't work that way as a bridge, you would need special software and hardware to do this.
Second the computer wouldn't see the FireWire camera, nor would the camera see the computer. That eliminates VTR.
There are a lot of reasons it wouldn't work but my head is hurting like hell so for the moment you're gonna have to settle for a 'nope'...
Sorry.

Thanks Cypher! I wasn't real optimistic, but it was worth a try. I thought I remembered reading somewhere that iMovie would work on any iMac, so I thought that if I could get the video from the camera to the drive, it might work. I forget that the camera and the computer have to "see" each other as well.
