[QUOTE="zacster, post: 1938037, member: 17931"] There is a $49 adapter for TB3 to TB2 that Apple sells. As far as I can tell it is the ONLY one that will work. Nobody else has even tried because it requires a logic board inside to make it work and it isn't just wire to wire or pin to pin. It is bi-directional so it can go either way, and both ways at once. The adapter would plug into the newer machine with the USB-C type connector and then you can plug your mini display port type cables into it. But it is a full Thunderbolt adapter and should work with anything at 20gb. But from the sound of what you have, you may just want to get newer devices anyway. Is it worth getting a 2017 iMac at this point? I have a late 2015 27" one and I'm looking to replace it with a Mac Mini M2 and using the iMac as the 5k monitor. [/QUOTE]
