if you mean use a firewire device through a usb slot then no. they are completely different connections. you'll need to purchase a firewire card. what is it you are trying to use may i ask?

if thats the case i think what you need is a pci firewire card with an internal connector. you cannot connect the usb ports on the motherboard to a firewire socket as they are not compatible. hope that helps
