Best answer
Yes. All PreSonus FireWire interfaces are compatible with the FW800 ports on new Macintosh Computers. PreSonus recommends using a FW400-FW800 cable (available at the Apple Store and most computer retailers) rather than a FW400-FW800 adapter as the cable provides better connectivity and will not add strain on the computer's FW800 port.
