Just try connecting a modern Mac to FireWire 400... You gotta go: FireWire 400 -> FireWire 800 -> Thunderbolt 2 -> Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C). Madness.

  Seems like Apple has 'deprecated' the Firewire stack in macOS. Catalina works, but don't count on it being available much longer. Btw, the FW->Thunderbolt conversion adds a noticeable amount of latency to my audio interface :(

    What's still out there to use FireWire on?

    At least it doesnt outright drop packets like the USB audio on modern macs.
