New Two Slot USB Mac Reader for P2 at Panny Booth

[Mitch Ives]

It’s not a P2 store… it’s a 2-slot version of their 5-slot reader. They gave no price when I asked… but perhaps they can now?

David Saraceno >Jan Crittenton mentioned that there is a USB Mac reader being developed that will work with the MacBook Pros.

Hi David,

First my last name is spelled Crittenden or Crittenden Livingston.

>She indicated it was available for viewing at the Panasonic booth at NAB?

I said it was a mock up and it was at NAB.

>Just another P2 store, or something different at a different price point?

It is not another P2 store is just a 2 slot version of the P2 Drive and smaller like a portable PCMCIA slot with a pigtail.

>Jan didn’t mention price or the difference between it and the p2 store.

The P2 Drive has a drive in it, this does not have a drive.

>Anybody got the skinny on this device?

There isn’t much info about it as it is a product to come down the line. No price has been established.

Best,

Jan

I’m sorry about the misspelling.

With a last name like Saraceno, I should be a little more careful.

Thank you for the update. A expedient way to get p2 cards into the MacBook Pro on the fly like a cardbus slot is the only thing preventing us from moving to the Intel Macs.
