I’m pleased to report that a 20 year old iSight camera still works (in all its 640x480 glory) under macOS Sonoma.

All it takes is a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 adapter, a Thunderbolt 2 to FireWire 800 adapter, and a FireWire 800 to FireWire 400 adapter.

A cluttered desktop with various bits of computer gear, cables, and paper. In the foreground is a late model MacBook Air displaying a PhotoBooth window showing a person holding an iPhone. Connected to the laptop via a meandering series of adapters is a vintage Apple iSight camera.

@axel_hartmann Yes. A literal stack. And those are just the ones in my office.

@splorp - been mulling over a 2000 although I switched to Palms after that somehow less-than-convincing Newton 100 almost 30 years ago...
