Transfer files from older mac to new laptop
Is the firewire on my powermac g5 compatible with a thunderbolt port on a new macbook air to transfer files?
PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
Not directly. If you search online for thunderbolt firewire adapter you'll see mention of third party adapters being brought out sometime in the future. Those won't let you use a Tb device over a Fw port but will let you attach a Fw device to a Tb port.
