This is using Arch Linux on a Lenovo T430s which also has an ExpressCard
slot - I've tried using the ExpressCard-Firewire adapter I used with my
previous laptop but the Thunderbolt adapter seems more stable (not sure
whether because of Firewire chip or other reasons).

</span>Coming back to the original question: Apple offers reasonably affordable<br>
Thunderbolt-to-Firewire adapters (Firewire 800, one connection, about<br>
$30). I have no idea how the driver situation for a Thinkpad (or even a<br>
Mac) would look under Linux. "Requires OS x v 10.7.4 or later" does not<br>
exactly sound like a long-supported standard chip.<br>
