macOS Tahoe: Reports of FireWire’s death not greatly exaggerated

How dead is FireWire support in macOS Tahoe 26? As dead as the iPod, as far as the Mac is concerned, which is at least a little sad. Stephen Hackett checked. In classic 512 Pixels fashion, he’s conjured together a real world demonstration using a battle-tested FireWire 800 cable-connected drive, two Thunderbolt adapters including a Thunderbolt 2 to 3 dongle, and a Mac. Woof. The result? A drive that correctly appeared as several volumes on macOS Sequoia just looks like an adapter to nowhere on
