Q: What is the best way to connect my old external iSight camera  to my MacBook Air

Hi- I have an older iSight camera that connects via FireWire 400. I'd like to use it with my current MacBook Air, which has 2 USB 2.0 ports and a Thunderbolt port. I would like to be able to use the camera while the laptop is open OR when laptop is closed and connected to external monitor via Thunderbolt. If I need to connect monitor via USB (if possible?) to free up the Thunderbolt port for the camera, I would consider that.

 

Version of the camera: a1023 emc 1950

Version of laptop: MacBook Air 13" Mid 2011

 

Thanks!
