firewire interface and hard drive

Is there any way you can hook a firewire hard drive directly to a firewire interface and record without the need of a computer?

I was looking at the 3 motu's, firepod, and fireface.

I would really like to record at 24/96, but I already have an editing computer that won't be accessible for the recording. If I could just buy a $100 hard drive and not have to buy a second computer, that would be great.

I was originally looking at hard disk recorders like the Alesis hd24, but there seem to be limiting factors that I don't like.
