Hi Ryan

I’ve had Snow Leopard v10.6.3 installed for some time.

I did go to the Verbatim website and download/install their latest available driver for Mac. That didn’t cure the problem.

Then an hour ago I got the above link from the people I bought the card from, ShopDigi. When I downloaded/installed that driver things seemed to work. But after I inserted/ejected the card 3 or 4 times I got the Black Screen again when I powered off the IDE controller.

Next, I tried just dragging the Compact Flash card icon from my Desktop to the Trash, removing the CF card (leaving the express adaptor in the slot) and re-inserting the CF card a number of times. So far I’ve not been able to crash the computer.

I also ejected the CF card by dragging it to the TRASH, then physically removed the adaptor card (with the CF card still in place) without “powering off” (the IDE controller icon at the top menu). I was able to re-insert the adaptor/CF combo a number of times without crashing.

So, I’m left perplexed and wondering when the next crash will be. I’ll keep using the adaptor until such time as it starts crashing again and then ask for a refund. Too bad, because I did measure about 5X the download speed as my USB 2 card reader gives me.

I’m glad to hear that your problems seem to be fixed. Please repost if something changes that.

Regards,

Mike

Hello Ryan

When you said 10.6 driver what, exactly, did you mean?

Was it a driver for Snow Leopard from your card manufacturer (I assume)?

For my Verbatim card their latest driver at their website didn’t do anything for me.

Hi

I’ve got the same problem as the first poster with my Verbatim ExpressCard Adaptor for CF.

The user manual said that NO driver was necessary for Leopard and Snow Leopard. After crashing every time I inserted the card with the CF card inserted, I did go to the Verbatim website and download the latest SDD driver v2.2.1 as you suggested.

Still crashed.

Then I uninstalled the driver.

No crash but the card didn’t mount either.

I ran the CD that came with the card and with the express adaptor card in the slot. The installer detected my Snow Leopard OS and said no driver installation was necessary.

When I removed the card it was quite warm.

Any ideas? I’m about ready to return it to Amazon.

Frustrated Mike
