SATA to Firewire enclosures?

Does anyone have recommendations for SATA to Firewire enclosures,  
preferably at a pricepoint comparable to the bulk of the Firewire to  
IDE enclosures out there (i.e. between $25 and $45 US)?  I'm looking  
to get a 500GB drive, put it in an enclosure, and use it as my  
primary photo archive, but most of the large-capacity drives seem to  
be SATA and most of the available enclosures (and *all* of the sub- 
$50 Firewire enclosures I've seen) support only IDE, not SATA.  I'm  
attaching to a Powerbook G4 800Mhz that lacks USB 2.0, so a USB to  
SATA interface is not a particularly appealing option.

Thanks,
