I'm interested in how backwards compatibility works - will old Thunderbolt devices work with just an adaptor cable? As someone who does a lot of professional video/audio work, I have a bunch of Thunderbolt devices so I hope that's the case.

This article ( http://www.theverge.com/2015/6/2/8704067/thunderbolt-3-usb-c... ) explicitly mentions an adapter for the older Thunderbolts. I assume the adapter would be passive.
