Re: firewire-thunderbolt adapter?

I believe the Apple Thuderbolt-to-Firewire is built with an TI chip and will work out of the box under Linux

There are people running Apple adapter successfully under Linux

Check this thread..https://sourceforge.net/p/ffado/mailman/ffado-user/thread/20160517022618.GJ30050%40marvin.atrad.com.au/

Where someone says:
"
 I am also using an Apple Thunderbolt-Firewire adapter without any problems.
   This is using Arch Linux on a Lenovo T430s which also has an ExpressCard
   slot - I've tried using the ExpressCard-Firewire adapter I used with my
   previous laptop but the Thunderbolt adapter seems more stable (not sure
   whether because of Firewire chip or other reasons).

Coming back to the original question: Apple offers reasonably affordable
Thunderbolt-to-Firewire adapters (Firewire 800, one connection, about
$30).  I have no idea how the driver situation for a Thinkpad (or even a
Mac) would look under Linux.  "Requires OS x v 10.7.4 or later" does not
exactly sound like a long-supported standard chip.
