can 828MkII firewire work with Mac OS Big Sur? - RESOLVED - YES

Post by burekas »

Hello there,
I am trying to revive my old motu 828 MkII and connect it to a Macbook pro running Big sure (2019, intel).
I got 100$ worth of cables -I have it hooked up with a firewire cable, FW to TB2 adapter and TB2 to TB3 adapter.
for now I didn't event manage to get the drivers installed on my mac.
(I also have a newer M1 macbook as an alternative)

I saw a similar post but for older os: viewtopic.php?t=68174

just wanted to know if that is at all possible.
any advice is appreciated!
