So let's see. In order to circumvent Apple's piss-poor implementation of a technology that's been available for years in Windows (they still haven't gotten FW right *yet*), we need to go through illegal channels in order to make it work.
They "just work" those Macs, eh?
What are you babbling about?
The dongles being referred to are required by the software maker and apply equally to Windows boxes as they do to Macs.
And what about FW doesn't work?
Many places recommend using the "back" FW800 ports and not the front one(s) on a Mac Pro for certain devices.
So something ain't working great with them.
