WiebeTech on Wednesday introduced two new products: a FireWire 400/800 PCI-X Host Adapter Card and a bus-powered Forensic ComboDock. The former is a high-powered version of the original card that features two FireWire 800 ports and one FireWire 400 port. It supplies 45 watts of power, enabling users to mount several external bus-powered FireWire drives on their Macs. It's priced at $189.95. The company has also added a $99.95 high-power supply for its existing FireWire Cardbus adapter, allowing users to attach 3.5-inch bus-powered hard drives to the adapter. more

this is fine if you are using their card and their enclosures, but it could be dangerous using other enclosures as their bridgeboards are set up for specific power requirements and you might end up blowing out bridgeboards or ports...
