5.4.1 USB-C to USB-A adapter cable
Newer Apple computers have a USB-C connector that can communicate via either
USB or Thunderbolt protocols. The Apple system will detect the type of connection
and automatically adjust how it communicates with the device. A USB-C to USB-A
style interface cable capable of USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds (5 Gbps) will allow
connection between the Mac computer and the TX1 USB source port. These adapter
cables are widely available from a variety of commercial retailers, including Apple.
A USB-C to USB-A adapter cable is shown below.
5.4.2 FireWire adapter cable
TX1 has a source side FireWire 800 port, making acquisition of a Macintosh
computer via its FireWire connection as easy as plugging in an interface cable.
Different Macintosh computers have different FireWire connectors, so check the
connector type before you begin. FireWire 800 connectors are common on many
legacy Mac systems. A FireWire 800 9-pin to 9-pin cable is shown below.
