I notice many of the FireWire audio interfaces call themselves Thunderbolt 
compatible, with an adaptor. I would be interested to know if that adaptor 
is just for pinout or needs logic/firmware to work. I think that the FW 
chipsets, like the ICE1712, are all old. I have seen the odd audio 
interface that says USB3 though (as part of a digital mixing console, if I 
recall correctly). However, USB3 will be the next set of new interfaces.

I am sure that about the time most people have bought a USB3 device (audio 
or otherwise) a new interface will come out so everyone can buy evrything 
all over again... It seems about the time I buy a new system, I have to 
buy all new peripherals too.
