  • Thunderbird 4 to Firewire 800?

    From Robert Peirce@21:1/5 to All on Fri Dec 3 04:44:01 2021
    I currently have a 2012 MBP that connects to my RAID array using a
    Thunderbird [mini display port] to Firewire 800 adapter. I'm getting a
    2021 MBP that uses Thunderbird 4. What do I need to make the connection
    to Firewire 800?

    There is a Thundirbird 3 to Thunderbird adapter. Will it work?

    Is there anything else?

    IIRC you can just daisychain adapters from thunderbolt 3/4 to whatever firewire/thunderbolt you need.
