Is there an adaptor that will allow me to get photos/files off of my Cobra Slim 30 GB 4200RPM Firewire HD? I think I used it around 2003!
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
You'll need a couple of adapters as there is no single adapter to go from Firewire 800 to USB-C / Thunderbolt 3.

An Apple authorized service provider may be able to help you out. However, with the adapters I linked to above, it should be straight forward to access the drive from your current Mac. It will likely be more expensive if you go the service provider root than just getting the 2 adapters suggested.
Here are the links to the 2 adapters you will need again, click the blue text below.
The Apple Firewire-800 to ThunderBolt-2 adapter, when used with an Apple ThunderBolt-3 <-> ThunderBolt-2 adapter, is an expensive solution, but it works.
The Apple Thunderbolt-3 <-> ThunderBolt-2 adapter does not supply power, so you may need another way to power the drive.
Thank you very much! I don't even remember what's on the drive. It should be fun looking at my old stuff!
Thank you! I'll have to give this a try....should be fun to see what's on it!

Oh no. I really suck at adaptors. I guess I should have gotten curious in 2005 ;)

Thank you!
