I've been searching around the forums just after I bought a duel systems adapter for my hvx200, problem is I thought this was to USB, totally was an impulse and un-researched buy. Anyway it turns out my HP PC with Vista does not have a 34mm or 54mm Express card slot, however I've come down to three choices:

1. Buy a 34mm Express Card Reader to USB 2.0 Adapter
(Disadvantages obviously would be slow transfer rate since I am going through adapters and USB) yet cheaper:

2. Ditch the duel adapter and buy the actual drive:

(Not sure how hard the install would be on an HP Elite machine)

3. Transfer normally through the HVX200 USB 2.0 port.

Would the duel systems adapter or PCMI Drive recognize E-series Panasonic P2 cards?

Thank you in advance.

I am shooting weekly horoscope videos for this website: http://www.InsightfulAstrology.com (http://www.insightfulastrology.com/)
and now we are partnering with www.Tarot.com so I need the most reliable way to offload the p2 cards after each monthly shoot. The shooting would be in Queens, New York and where I edit would be in Hoboken, NJ so I would like to just be able to take the p2 cards with me to my dorm, edit, and bring them back for the next shoot (leaving my other equipment in the studio in Queens). I'm still unsure of the most efficient way to offload them.
