    Thank you so much for taking the time to provide your feedback. We’re happy to hear that the adapter is exactly what you expected and apologize that the price wasn’t as effective as you hoped. Don't hesitate to contact us with further questions, comments, or concerns. https://eshop.macsales.com/Service/


    Worked out the box!

    This hard to find item was available and shipped almost immediately. As noted, it worked 'as advertised' and was the missing link in getting my FireWire equipment working with my Windows 11 PC. Now that I know about OWC, they'll be on my list for future needs.

    I would recommend this product to a friend!
