Q: PowerMac Pro does not recognize MacBook Pro in Target Disk mode

I am trying to restore a MacBook Pro disk from a backup, but my PowerMac Pro does not seem to recognize the MacBook Pro in Target Disk mode.  I have a FireWire 800 cable and the adapter for the thunderbolt port to FireWire 800.  Is there something more I need to do to get the Power Mac Pro to recognize the MacBook Pro in Target Disk mode as an external harddrive?

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
