    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?

    Resolved How To Get Apple's Cinema Displays Working With Thunderbolt 3

    Editor's Note: I have tried repeatedly to post this on Apple's Support Communities, but they keep removing even heavily edited versions under the auspices that it is "nontechnical or off-topic".
