The ‘antiqueness’ and alleged difficulty of scanning with Nikon Coolscans is very overstated in this article. I’m using a Coolscan 9000 with a single adapter on an M3 Pro MacBook running Sequoia (latest MacOS). No exotic hardware needed whatsoever.

I'm curious about this adapter since I've never seen a single-stage USB-C to FireWire.

Yeah I did this for a DV cam and needed two adapters: USB C to the old DisplayPort form of Thunderbolt, and then that to Firewire. And even that wasn't complete, because I needed to adapt to the smaller Firewire port on the camera.

Obviously they could make a single stage adapter but I didn't find it if it exists.
