My mate has a Mackie ONYX mixer with the firewire option.
I'm wondering if there's a device that will convert the firewire tracks into ADAT so I can use it with the DIGI001/2?
Anyone heard of such a unit?

I think it's called a com-poo-tah. Seriously, a PC that has both Firewire and an ADAT TOSlink soundcard could do this.

Yeah, I thought of that. A lot of stuffing around though. Easier to get something like an RME 8 channel AD and use the Onyx direct outs.
I pretty much knew I pissing into the wind with this..... but I had to ask ;)

Yeah, I am sorry, but I'm unaware of anything that can convert from Firewire to ADAT optical easily and efficiently. You can do it via the computer, but that opens up latency issues and IMO, that would be quite a kludge.
Now if it was mLan firewire, I would recommend something like a Yamaha i88X, which has mLan and ADAT optical on it, but I doubt that would be compatable with the Onyx's firewire. :(
