    Thunderbolt 3 to Firewire 800 Adapter

    I occasionally need to hook up older Firewire 800 devices to my MBPro with Thunderbolt 3. All I found for an adapter solution would be to daisy chain Apple T3 to T2 with a T2 to FW 800. Does this work? Is there anything else?

    What to do with the 2 Thunderbolt 1 ports on 2011 iMac?

    I have two Thunderbolt 1 ports sitting on my 2011 iMac that are doing nothing for me. I want to make them useful. I could stick a Thunderbolt to Firewire dongle on there, but I already have a Firewire port and daisy chain the two external drives through it. I could use more USB ports, but the...
