I don't think you are going to eSata to FireWire to work, but several have tested ThunderBolt to FireWire adapters working very well. Many of the newer iMacs have ThunderBolt and Apple and several others have ThunderBolt to FireWire adapters. And the ThunderBolt adapter cards and motherboard

Remote operation will add latency and I don't think any of the vnc variants will handle audio. The computer and the Flex will need to be co-located due to the Firewire Specs. On 2/18/2016 2:49 PM, Larry Loen wrote: Most older PCs will still run Windows 10. If you can get Windows 7 onto it, yo
