FireWire & Tahoe

TidBITS Talk

Just a quickie.

Has anyone successfully used a FW drive (via the adaptors) on a Tahoe mac or does it not work at all?

Just assessing future upgrades (as I have many FW drives in regular use).

Thanks.

It does not work at all.

Not at all. That’s why I back out to Sequoia.

Various tech websites advise:

  1. Don’t upgrade to Tahoe
  2. Keep another Mac on an older macOS (this might give access to the Firewire peripheral over the LAN)
  3. Use a Windows PC with a Firewire adaptor - as with 2

Note also that intel Macs won’t be supported under the next macOS so, to me, it seems pointless to upgrade any Intel Mac to Tahoe.
