ASFireWire rebuilds FireWire (IEEE 1394) support removed in macOS Tahoe (26), using DriverKit for controllers, audio, and SBP-2/SCSI devices.
ASFireWire stays free and open source so more people can keep useful hardware running. Support the work behind it.

The website owns hosted-release download and installation details. This wiki owns
public technical explanations and detailed compatibility evidence. Version-dependent
implementation contracts live alongside source. documentation/fixtures/ retains
hardware captures and test evidence. Historical wiki notes are not current API promises.
Compatibility results identify the tested build where known. An old successful test is useful history, but does not independently validate today's release or every mode. Keep contributor attribution, evidence links, and negative reports when updating rows.
