Product: HP Z800 Base Model Workstation
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
I need to use some legacy cameras on my Z800 running windows 10 that connect by firewire - can it be done?
It seems not, it is that true?
Many thanks.

If the camera came with windows software it should work ok. If windows xp (32 bit) possibly the software can be run in XP mode.
There are two windows 10 firewire apps mentioned in the following video at about the 5 minute mark.
