Default Re: Digi 003 Firewire on macOS Monterey

Dug it out, bought the Firewire->Thunderbolt connectors and plugged it in, powered up. Naturally, macOS Monterey didn't just magically find such an ancient gem as the 003.

It was too much to hope Avid kept updating the 003 Family drivers beyond Yosemite... I think they stopped in 2016, and that Family driver is incompatible with Monterey; simply aborts no matter what I try.

Question: Aside from the "Yah it's old, get a new one" answers... is it possible to get the 003 console to work on Monterey? If not, I can relegate it back to a Windows PC where things tend to still work decades after everyone else has moved on

Thank you in advance,
