2009 iMac and thunderbolt display

Is it possible to connect a 2009 iMac without a thunderbolt port (it just has a mini display port) to an apple thunderbolt display, which only has thunderbolt ports?


iMac, OS X 10.11

No, The Thunderbolt display cannot be used with a non-Thunderbolt computer, even though Mini DisplayPort and Thunderbolt use the same connectors..
