Fire-wire device usage at MacMini Late2014

Dear all.


As for Mac Mini late 2014, I can see fire-wire port is removed.


Is there any way to use my fire-wire device such as a fire-wire audio interface or fire-wire external HDD?


Can I use these devices by thunderbolt to firewire adapter that sold at apple store?

However,,, if your audio interface uses FireWire 400, then you will also need a FireWire 800 to 400 cable or adapter.
