No, but depending on what kind of computer you have, you could possibly upgrade Firewire.
Microsoft no longer officially supports Firewire on Win10, but you could try to install the Firewire legacy driver:

Not sure whether it will still work with Win11.
You just have to make sure that you get a card with a good TI chipset, not with e.g. XIO2200A, see

A PCIe card with a good working Firewire chip is for example this one: Exsys EX-16415 (TI XIO2213B).
From Apple you can get Thunderbolt to Firewire adapters, but I do not know whether this works well for all Apple models / OS with thunderbolt ports, there you need to investigate further.
It's not me. Someone with usb only want's to buy my old FF 800 and asks..
