Just go to Amazon or eBay and look for a Firewire to USB adapter. But keep in mind that just because the adapters fit together doesn't mean they'll work with every device. I tried connecting a Firewire 400 iSight to a USB port, but it didn't work. However, it's not too expensive to give it a shot.
This adapter simply converts a Firewire 800 cable to a Firewire 400 cable. Your MacBook Pro will not be able to connect to HDMI via this method.

A Thunderbolt 2 adapter is a device that connects a Thunderbolt 2 port to a Thunderbolt 2 port on a computer. The Mini is connected by a Thunderbolt 3 adapter. Again, I was surprised that it worked, but I'm glad it did because it saved me from having to pay a fortune for a comparable rackmount interface. I've been running it for about 6 weeks and have had no problems; highly recommended.
