  • SxS reader SBAC-US10 connected to MacPro problem

    hi,

    I have a Sony SxS reader (SBAC-US10) connected to my Mac Pro (Quad Core Intel Xeon -MacOs X 10.5.6)

    but no desktop image appears, though the System Profiler does seem to recognize the device as USB-connected.

    The SxS cards seem to be o.k. : they appear immediately on desktop when USB-connected directly via my XDcam EX3, and I can transfer files through XDCAM Transfer.

    I tried different USB cable, downloaded and installed driver, but no use.

    The SBAC-US10 is brand new, out of the box. My Mac is a smooth working machine that never caused me any trouble. The USB cables work perfectly with any other device,…

    Could use some help, people.

    You won’t see a desktop icon until a card is inserted into the unit…I couldn’t tell from your post whether you were doing that or not. Also, don’t try the USB port on the keyboard like I did 🙂 That’s not a high-speed port. I thought it’d be nice to have the card reader right there but it didn’t work as planned.

    We have SBAC-US10 devices on our quad-G5 and my Intel Mac 8 core. I don’t remember even installing any software to make them work.

    hi Clint,

    I did indeed insert a card into the unit, and the red light on the unit immediately started flickering (is this right?)

    I also thought no driver was necessary,
    anyway, I uninstalled it as it didn’t seem to change anything.

    I used the USB port on front of the Mac Pro, and the one on the back. No good.

    I’m totally lost here.
