I was browsing the archives of this site for some information and I came across this post


after a week of research and trials, I have found an os X application that will allow a P2 card to automatically be copied over the the mac HD when inserted, then eject the p2 card when complete. It will also verify the data integrity. I'm writing a few custom scripts that will insure that multiple P2 cards with the same name will always be backed up.

I'll be doing some further testing tonight, but it's looking like this is going to be the best and most"P2 store" like simplicity I'm looking for while working on a production:

I want to insert a p2 card into the laptop and walk away- then return a few minutes later and pop out the p2 and see a confirmation that the card has been copied and verified. I want it automatic, with no need to drag +drop, ect.

I'll keep you all posted.

it was from a poster by the name of ckarcher, who has seemingly left the site since May. I was curious if anyone here was privy to what this software was.

Thanks a bunch in advance for anyone who can come up with this.

The interesting part left out is that the post doesn't refer to which Mac is being used.

You can neither insert a p2 card in a MacBook Pro or a MacPro.

With the MBP, you can use a duel adapter however, and PowerBooks have a PC Card bus slot.

What your Mac, and what you trying to do?

MacBook Pro or PowerBook?

p2genie used to do this for PCs. Not sure if it has a Mac version available.

There was a Mac Version available, and it only worked under Tiger. Now it is no longer for sale.

What about P2 Forge? Is that cross-platform?

I don't think so.

There was talk but nothing was released.
