I have a Mackie Onyx 1640i desk connected by Firewire to my iMac. How would I connect it to a new Mac Mini that does not have firewire?

Without a firewire port, there is no way to directly connect the device.

fwiw - this is why I keep a couple of older machines around for audio editing ( I have a Mackie 1220i that requires a FW 400 connection that I use for A/D conversions)

Good luck.

Does the Mackie have USB? If so there you go. OR you might be able to locate a FW>USB adaptor. Probably Amazon/EBay. Here's some info on this: http://www.tech-faq.com/firewire-to-usb-adapter.html
