Would any of you gentleman posting here (and ladies alike, of course) have a chance to try see if the Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter does work also under BootCamp running Windows 7? I've been lurking around for days, here and elsewhere, and I can't find any information about this.
Although I run all my audio applications from within Mac OS X via (powered) Firewire audio peripherals, in my job I'm forced to use a manufacturer-specific audio test + measurement suite that only exists in Windows and runs on proprietary hardware via Firewire. So far I ran it from my (late 2010) MacBook Pro 15 on 10.7.8 via BootCamp / Windows 7 with never a glitch or a stutter (the hardware unit is mains-powered, luckily).
Now my employer offered me to upgrade my laptop to a new MacBook Pro (Retina), of which the weight reduction is by far the most appealing feature to me, but with this machine the only hope it's gonna work for me is the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter, if it'll ever work under BootCamp / Windows 7.
Money-back guarantee isn't an option, in my case, as unfortunately my employer sources all IT-stuff from a lease contractor with a take-it or leave-it formula. I live in a small town in Southern Europe, the only MacBook Pro on display here is glued to the desk at the local flavor of WalMart, and I can't have it on loan to take to the testing lab facility where the hardware is physically located.
Anyone here could test with any Firewire (powered) audio interface if this adapter also works under BootCamp / Windows 7?
