Technically, USB and FireWire are completely different interfaces and there is no way to "convert" FireWire to USB (nor, indeed, vice versa). However, we will be releasing a full range of USB astronomy cameras very shortly. The cameras will be identical to the FireWire range, but with a USB connector. Keep an eye on this blog and the main astronomy cameras web site (www.AstronomyCameras.com) for details. First of all, there is no adapter that allows FireWire cameras to be connected to a USB port.

If I need an adapter what is the best most idiot proof one? Is there a way to run the DMK cameras through a USB port? If I need an adapter what is the best most idiot proof one?
