New Snow Leopard P2 Drivers

[Terry Jun]

I installed it and am trying to use it with the DuelAdapter, not working. Anyone else have luck?

[Arthur Aldrich]

That is not related to this driver release. You need a driver from Duel as well.

My pcd20 is working great under SL now.

Sweet!

[Terry Jun]

That is awesome, but for me PCD20= $999, DuelAdapter =$60.

Any place that has it cheaper?

Not that I know of. If you shoot a lot of P2, the PCD20 will make up the money in time lost transferring cards in one shoot or two. The PCD20 is a 5 card reader as is supported by Panasonic, the duel is a one card reader that has a rocky track record. Also, where are you finding it for $999? It’s $1899

I am also looking forward to the Sonnet Qio, whenever that gets released.

Sorry buddy. I was looking at https://www.sonnettech.com/product/qio.html like you were. This looks like a great product too! eSata will give us faster transfer rates! Sorry for the confusion!

I saw reference to this on a couple of forums shortly after Snow Leopard was released but I don’t have first-hand confirmation: Duel apparently stated that they will not support Snow Leopard AT ALL. They are not working on drivers and will not be doing so in the future. I’m afraid if you want to upgrade you’ll have to find another workflow for offloading footage.

Duo has no plans for supporting snow.

We have the Panasonic AJ-PCD35 card reader. Worked great until we upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6. Downloaded the P2 driver for 10.6 from panasonic and it works… kind of. The driver only works with the cards are in the reader when we boot the computer. If we boot the computer first and then put the cards in, the driver won’t read them. Anyone else having this issue?

[Joel Jackson]

Yes, I cannot get it to mount on my desktop intel quad with 10.6.2 and it mounts fine on my laptop dual intel with 10.6.2???

The cards are viewable in disk utility (even with the little p2 icons) but when I go to mount them it says the cards are not supported. I have downloaded and installed the lates p2 driver to no avail.

ANY IDEAS WHY IT WOULD WORK ON ONE SYSTEM AND NOT ANOTHER WITH THE EXACT SAME SOFTWARE AND OS?
