I am confused with Thunderbolt 2 and 3. My motherboard (Asus Z270 Hero) is advertised to support Thunderbolt 3 and I was told by other users that it works, but not officially listed as supported motherboard in Thunderbold 3 card specifications on Asus web site. My motherboard has Thunderbolt internal port and would use PCIe4 slot.
This is the Thunderbolt 3 card by Asus:

I was looking in to buying Thunderbolt audio interface and all, even most new, audio interfaces that come this summer (Antelope Goliath), state that they use Thunderbolt 2. Why do they still make them Thunderbolt 2 when we have Thunderbolt 3? And how do I connect Thunderbolt 2 interface to Thunderbolt 3?
The reason I am looking in to buying Thunderbolt interface is because my Presonus Studio 24.4.2 original audio mixer is not working with SIIG TI Fire Wire card that works fine in another Win. 10 computer. There was suggestion to use Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 to Fire Wire adopter. I need help to configure this.
1. What is the difference between Thunderbolt 2 and 3 and how to connect Thunderbolt 2 audio interface to Thunderbolt 3 card?
2. I heard there is Thunderbolt 2 to Fire Wire adopter- how would it work if I have Thunderbolt 3 card? Thank you.
