P2 device driver for PowerBook

[David S.]

I believe FCP 5.04 supported importing the P2 card data.

No driver needed to actually mount and copy the p2 card to the PB with a cardbus slot

I’m not so sure. This is from the Apple document “Late-Breaking News about Final Cut Pro 5″ which was online as part of the 5.04 update documentation:

” Inserting the P2 Card into the PC Card Slot of a PowerBook
The fastest way to get media from a P2 card into Final Cut Pro is through the PC Card
(PCMCIA) slot of a PowerBook. This method requires driver software from Panasonic.
To transfer media from a P2 card using the PC Card slot of a PowerBook:
1 . Make sure the Panasonic driver software is installed on the PowerBook.
For more information, go to https://www.panasonic.com/broadcast.
2 . Insert the P2 card containing the media you want to import into the PowerBook PC
Card slot.
The memory card appears on the desktop as a mounted disk named NO NAME. ”

The URL link in the PDF is a generic Panasonic Broadcast link with no specific related info on that page. A search of the Panasonic site hasn’t yielded anything yet.
