Is there a way to link up my firewire 400 Audio I/O into USB3 or Thunderbolt?

Hi all,


I'm currently struggling trying to link my Firewire 400 Audio Interface to my new imac.

There seems to have no easy way to link it up to either USB2/3 or Thunderbolt.?


Cheers

It would require both a > Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.) and a Amazon.com: elago FireWire 400 to 800 Adapter for Mac: Electronics


I don't have an Audio Interface to test, but sucessfully use the above connection with a couple of old Maxtor FireWire 400 HD Enclousures.
