Thunderbolt is basically just PCIe. I don't think that it has drivers

Has just a new interface saw the light which I haven't heard of, yet?
Thunderbolt it is. I've heard numerous people state that a stock
Apple TB-FW Adapter worked
fine with Firewire soundcards under Linux laptops (Lenovo I think) that
had Thunderbolt interfaces (there was a time they were popular for
somewhat model-agnostic docking stations). Even if you had to use
another TB3->TB1/2 adapter in between for newer Thunderbolt interfaces.
And some FW800->FW400 cable.
I've heard that, too. I have a Presonius 12-channel Firewire device I'm
planning to use on my set up the same way - TB3>TB2 adaptor.
