Description from the creator

In this video I show the few options you have to connect older FireWire 400/800 devices to a new Mac which only has Thunderbolt 3/USB-C ports. The same process works with Mac's that have the new Thunderbolt 4 connections as well!

If you have a newer Mac and running into issues, please see my updated video here: youtu.be/P5PdxKTmL0I
