MR816x and ipad

I have an MR816 that I have used for years with a MBP that I’ve had since 2008 and I was wondering if there was anyway of I could use it with my iPad to record (with the cabasis app for example) ? Firewire to Lightning? An example would just be to record several audio sources, say a live recording. My Macbook Pro is getting on and I’d like to maybe use a Mac mini for at home and the iPad (maybe even the new iPad pro) for location.

Thanks in advance

Just seen on another thread in the cubasis section that only the URs seem compatible.
