FireWire audio interface to Thunderbolt 3 Mac.

Oops, I left out : I use an Apogee Ensemble F/W400>F/W800 > a La Cie HD F/W > F/W/ TB2 Adapter>TB3 Adapter>2017 iMac. It works well - even Maestro (the software interface for the Ensemble) after I sorted out permissions in System Preferences.

I have an audio interface that has firewire 400 i/o. The connections were the following:

FW400 card

-> FW400 to FW800 cable

-> FW800 to thunderbolt 2 dongle

-> thunderbolt 2 to thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) dongle

-> my laptop

No dice.

I hope that apple can comment on this at some point because I cannot currently find a way to use my device with my new computer, which only has thunderbolt 3 ports.

I should mention that I did not test the "sidedness" very thoroughly, although TB3 is supposed to be agnostic to sides.
