I'm thinking of buying a 15" MacBook Pro Retina. Apple Store tell me confidently that I can connect without problem to a 2006 30" Cinema Display using a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter.
However, what no one seems to be able to explain to me is what to do with the firewire cable.
My Cinema Display has 3 cables: DVI-D, USB and Firewire. The Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter seems to have ports for only the DVI-D and USB ... but where does the Firewire go? Do I need a separate Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter?
Any thoughts on how to resolved this mystery would be most appreciated.
