Hi Bernard,
You can use Apple Thunderbolt3 to Thunderbolt2 adapter to connect the Pegasus2 with Thunderbolt3 system.

Doesn't work. I've been trying for more than a year to get my R6 to work with the M1 Mac Mini I bought after checking with your support that it would. Please don't make recommendations that you HAVEN'T ACTUALLY TESTED.

Hi Richard.
When the M1 macs came out the Pegasus 2 was indeed tested, I know as I tested with the Pegasus 2 myself.
But some investigation has revealed that if the Pegasus has old firmware, like 5.04.0000.17 (FCS release), the Pegasus 2 won't mount on either an Intel or M1 MAC running Monterey. This firmware is from 2013. But when I attached my Pegasus 2 to Catalina it mounted fine. So my testing had obviously been done with the latest firmware.
If the latest Pegasus 2 firmware is loaded (5.04.0000.64) the Pegasus2 will mount on both the M1 (with both the kext and user space driver) and the Intel Monterey. It can be slow to mount, I did not time it, but it might take a minute, then it works fine and can be managed with the latest Pegasus32 Utility.
Since the Pegasus 2 with old firmware won't be recognized by an M1 MAC, a firmware update will have to be done from an older MAC. I used a Catalina MAC Mini, but Big Sur will probably work as well.
