I know there are cards that have both USB 2.0 & FireWire ports. And =
CalDigit has a card with both USB 3.0 and eSATA ports. So perhaps Soon =
Only Not Yet (ie- after CES)?

Or do your FW800 externals also have eSATA ports (as do my key ones)?

Not much help... I think I'd like to see such a card, too.
