Hello
I own the macbook pro 2012, which only has thunderbolt and no firewire.
With this setup I use the apple firewire to thunderbolt adapter. Tethering is not reliable like that and causes a lot of trouble(some of this reported last year on this forum). Last week I found out, the apple ethernet to thunderbolt adapter also causes problems. Looks like my hardware port is not really well build, to loose to have a sturdy connection. I try to fix it with taping. It's also possible, that there is some defect in the laptop, or just a bad implementation from apple.
I'm now wondering if I would get a firewire to usb adapter to solve the problems.
Does anybody have experience with this?
best regards
