If it is a Mac host computer then BH #APMD464LLA and the BH #APMMEL2AMA will work for Firewire 800 to USB Type-C. Unfortunately, if it is PC then they will not.

question

Does this work with a thunderbolt 3 (USB-C connector)?Also will this work with a PC instead of a Mac (I read that it will work even though it's not officially supported by Windows, so you get a notification that it's not supported but do you want to allow it to be connected anyway and then you click yes, and it works, has anyone tried this?I have a Canopus video capture box that uses firewire and it cost me $350 so I'd like to be able to use that with my new PC Laptop (It's an MSI super port equiped laptop I think the super port is compatible with thunderbolt 3 but it only has one lane instead of all 4 (so it's only 1/4 as fast as the thunderbolt 3 but for this purpose since firewire is so slow I don't need it to be that fast just compatible).

When I use this after the Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 Apple adapter (which is what many have suggested) on my Win11 laptop, it crashes my system. It will not work with a PC (at least on my system).

will this work on my new Mac studio?

will this work on my new Mac studio?
Asked by: Jen
Depends on what the male end of your firewire looks like. In order to connect my firewire 800 male end to a new mac (USB 3 female), I needed two adaptors. The first converted Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt 2, the second was the APMMEL2AMA which converted Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 (USB3).

question

Is this adapter supported by current Windows 10 OS?
Asked by: Keith
I use this to adapt a focusrite DAI to an apple. I don't think this will work on a windows computer, however if you have the thunderbolt, cable which fits the female end, that will fit a windows product. Otherwise you need to adapt a USB.
