Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter

Hi Folks

I have:

MacBook Pro (Mid 2015)
- MacOS High Sierra (10.13.6)
- Parallels Desktop 17 for Mac, Standard Edition, Version 17.0.1 (51482)
- Windows 10
- Apple Thunderbolt 2 to FireWire (400) Adapter

And this adapter is not recognized in WIN 10. With Bootcamp it works flawlessly.
Is there a solution?

NO reaction?

 

Is this support?

 

Parallels® Desktop 17 for Mac

As the name suggests, Parallels® Desktop 17 for Mac would be developed for the Mac.

The "Apple Thunderbolt 2 to FireWire (400) Adapter" is a Mac product.

In the article I read:

"Cause: Unsupported device or its misconfiguration".

So I'm already amazed software specifically designed for Mac doesn't support a Mac product? Isn't that embarrassing?

 

And in V19 it is NOT working.......

NO solution?

What kind of device do you want to connect to FireWire?

The Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter (it's actually a Thunderbolt 1 to FireWire 800 adapter) is not a USB device. It is a Thunderbolt device. Thunderbolt devices are basically PCIe devices.

Parallels VMs cannot use Thunderbolt or PCIe or FireWire devices.
Parallels VMs can use USB devices connected to Thunderbolt docks/hubs, Thunderbolt displays, USB displays/docks/hubs, or directly to the Mac.
Parallels VMs can use mass storage devices connected to USB or FireWire or SATA or NVMe or SAS or whatever.
