I asked Chatgpt, and it said that catalina deleted the underlying firewire driver at the beginning, but I saw that someone is still using this kind of adapter on MacOS 15.

Anonymous2105 May 9, 2025@ Poster I have some old equipment of Firewire. I have tried M Computer-Thunder 3 to Thunder 2 and Thunder 2 to Firewire. Both adapter cables are original Apple factory. Bus-Power's RAID hard drive can't come on, and the single disk is unstable. Now I am using OWC, a very old Lei 3 docking station bought by Little Yellow Croaker, with an FW800 port on it, which can be used normally. This device model OWCTB3DK13PSG

Anonymous891 May 9, 2025The last time I went back to China to transfer a DV recorder, I checked it and it could be transferred. I remember it was from Firewire to Thunderbolt 2 and then to Thunderbolt 4 and then plugged it into a mac in recent years. However, at that time, I saw it was too troublesome to transfer, and the two re-exports were still expensive. I directly bought a 2012 MBP 13-inch last-generation mac with a Firewire port, and then directly connected it to solve the problem with a Firewire

Poster May 9, 2025@ Anonymous2105 should be the reason for the power supply. Apple's Thunderbolt 2 to Firewire cannot carry power-consuming devices; The docking station is powered by a separate power supply, so it can be completely brought up. Thanks for the reminder, I'm probably going to buy a docking station instead of that converter.

Poster May 10, 2025@ Anonymous2105 Did you configure the power supply yourself? Any recommendations?

Anonymous704 May 13, 2025I would like to ask: I have an imac 2017 (?) that the old man likes at home. It is a Thunderbolt 2. Is there any recommendation for a suitable Thunderbolt 2tousbc converter head/cable?

Poster May 13, 2025@ Anonymous704 Apple officially has Thunderbolt 2 (female port) to Thunderbolt 3 (male port), salted fish 100rmb, but this is generally used for Thunderbolt 2 devices connected to Thunderbolt 3 Mac. If you simply want to expand, just buy a Thunderbolt 2 docking station.
