[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1605385, member: 46727"] You are correct. Both Macs have to have either a Firewire port or Thunderbolt port. If one machine only has Firewire and the other only has Thunderbolt, then a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter is needed. $$ You can not use USB for TDM, and your 2008 MBP which only has a MDP likewise will not work for TDM.
