BN 9690 in Holly, Michigan
I'm doing some testing to interface my Nikon Super CoolScan 4000 ED - which has a FireWire 400 connection - to my newer iMac with USB 3.0.
Utilizing an "A1463 Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter" plugged into an "A1790 Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2" I can connect the older scanner into my USB-C input and still use the scanner.
In fact, when connected, my iMac reports it is using a FireWire device, and has no issues at all with the kludged-together chain of adapters and cables.
Whatever works!
