Thanks Francisco. This is the adapter I was talking about. It’s 9-pin, so you 
need another adapter to go from 4-pin firewire to this 9-pin one.

[Frameworks] firewire to thunderbolt

[Gene Youngblood]

Friends,
I want to do a firewire-to-thunderbolt connection like this: firewire to 
4-to-9-pin male adaptor, then a 9-pin female to thunderbolt male cable. I just 
need confirmation that’s the way to do it. Thanks...

Re: [Frameworks] firewire to thunderbolt

I use a 4 pin to 9 pin FireWire cable with a FireWire to thunderbolt adaptor on 
the end.

That way there is no need to daisy chain through hard drives.

The FireWire to Thunderbolt adaptor was a bit pricey but worth it. While I was 
at it, I also ordered an eSata to thunderbolt adaptor I now use those 
adaptors al the time. Super useful tools that allow me to use my older hard 
drives and devices in various configurations with both older and newer 
computers.

Hi gene. You can try using a hard drive to daisy chain. The ext hard drive
must have thunderbolt and FW.

Re: [Frameworks] firewire to thunderbolt (& Apple)

Thanks Kate,
Your assessment of Apple’s market tactics seems pretty reasonable to me.

Subject: Re: [Frameworks] firewire to thunderbolt (& Apple)

Gene, 

I had a similar issue recently.  I haven't been able to find a Thunderbolt to 
4-pin Firewire cable anywhere.

To my knowledge, the only Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter that exists is for 
9-pin Firewire (it goes for about $30.00 at Apple stores).  I then use a 9-pin 
to 4-pin Firewire cable to connect to my DV deck or DV camera.  There are 
definitely other combinations of adapters that are possible, but this system 
seems to be one of the most efficient solutions, and has been working very well 
for me.

I'm finding that Apple has been increasingly poor at supporting 4 or 6 pin 
Firewire cables as they continue to add more bells & whistles.  Their new 
laptops don't even have DVD/CD disk drives anymore.  Their new display options 
are "easier," yet less specific, hold far fewer possibilities, and give the 
user less agency in fine-tuning for projection.  Once Apple changes to their 
new audio output in lieu of mini cables and outsources most of their storage to 
Cloud-based models, I feel like they might alienate their original core 
audience - artists/designers/musicians/film & video makers.  I understand that 
we need to "change with the times," but the cost is very high and holds danger 
for losing significant quality and control.  I might be opening a can of worms 
here, but it's something I've been struggling with a lot lately as a maker and 
as an exhibitor.

Aside from that tangent: good luck, Gene!  

Cheers,
Kate Ewald

This might be the right time to look at Nick Briz's elegant address to

[Frameworks] firewire to thunderbolt

[Gene Youngblood]

I need to control a Sony DSR 25 DVcam deck with an iMac. That apparently 
requires a Thunderbolt to 4-pin firewire cable, which I can’t find online. Do 
such things exist? If not, is there some combination of adaptors I can use, 
like 4-pin to 6-pin to Thunderbolt?___
