I don't see why other FireWire devices wouldn't communicate either.
The drive spun up and mounted on the Mac. Out of curiosity, I just hooked up this chain:įireWire 400 external drive -> FW400-to-FW800 cable -> Thunderbolt 2-to-FW800 adapter -> Thunderbolt 3-to-Thunderbolt 2 adapter -> M1 MacBook Pro I'm not a hardware expert, but I don't understand why that chain wouldn't work even with an M1 AS Mac protocols are protocols. My MBP is still booting macOS 10.13 High Sierra, but I have on occasion connected it through through the same Thunderbolt-2-to-Firewire-800 adapter stevenkan mentioned-and that adapter in turn plugged into my MBP with an Apple Thunderbolt-3-to-Thunderbolt-2 adapter-to a NewerTech drive dock cabled with FireWire 800. The same is not true of my auxiliary 2010 Mac Pro, but is true of my late-2016 MacBook Pro 13,3. OTOH the key word in your post may be "yet", referring to third-party plugins.
#Best firewire audio interface for mac 2017 update
This article says you can update every mid-2017 iMac18,n to Big Sur. But hopefully by around mid-next year we should have better answers around production ecosystems so that I can finally replace the iMac. I can't even upgrade my 2017 iMac (dedicated studio machine, a couple UAD rack mount interfaces, lots and lots of third party plugins) to Big Sur, let alone see a clear path to M1 yet. I'll happily wait until all the audio software and plugins get their M1 poop in a group.
I honestly have no complaints about my trusty 2009 Mac Pro that's ably doing the job right now. Oh, there's no way I'm testing this myself.
