Hi, It all depends on the model of Mac you're connecting the Firewire cable to. The new MacBook Pro with Retina Display and the MacBook Air require an adaptor as they don't have Firewire natively anymore. The older MBP's have a Firewire 800 connection on the lefthand side whereas the white MacBooks with the rounded sides did not include Firewire at all. As mentioned earlier though, if your machine is equipped with Firewire, then it is simply a matter of connecting the cable. If the Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor is needed, then it should still gain connection once all adaptors and cables are connected properly.
HTH. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Apr 14, 2014, at 12:07 PM, Jeffrey Shockley <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > As far as I know, it works much like a USB cable.
