From the post:

>I own an old Canon GL1 camera, with a 'DV' port. I could plug that into an old Mac (like the dual G4 MDD above) with FireWire—or even a modern Mac running macOS < 26, with some dongles—and transfer digital video footage between the camera and an application like Final Cut Pro. But with Apple killing off support, and my desire to have a modern, supported hardware solution, I turned to Linux and dvgrab. Linux will likely drop support for IEEE 1394 in 2029, but at least that gives me three more years!

There’s an open source project to bring back FireWire to the latest crApple OS. Its first goal is to support external sound cards.
