Firewire to Thunderbolt Adapter
New 24" iMac Big Sur. I bought an Apple adapter but it's too big for the Thunderbolt port. Are there different sizes? How can I know what to buy? Thanks.

You need two adapters to plug a FireWire 800 cable into a new iMac.
First you need a Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter. (sounds like you have this one)

Then you need a USB-C to Thunderbolt adapter to plug that first adapter into the new iMac.

A USB-C to HDMI adapter is what you need to connect an external HDMI equipped display to the new iMac.
Apple offers two adapters, plus some third party adapters will also work.

Thank you. $50 bucks, huh? Well, as long as it works!
While I'm here––I ordered a HDMI to USB C adapter but I want it to fit the Thunderbolt port. Do I need an adapter for this too? Thanks again.
Thanks, I appreciate your help. I'll give it a try.
