Not done the P2 card formatter, but lordy, lord I've just upgraded my P2 Stores, via an Intel Mac...

just picked myself up from the floor.

Holy Mary mother of God...REALLY?

Dang, and here I just returned my P2 cards. Shoot.

Someone verify this...

I can verify that P2 Formatter for Mac does just what it says it does. It formats P2 cards on a Mac. Installed it on my old-school PB G4 and it works like a charm. It even recognizes the write-protection tab and won't let you formate a wp'ed card.

Good on you, Panny!

Well my Duel Adapter now isn't recognised after this flurry of updates (did the P2 drivers and Duel Adapter for 10.4.11 aswell again), so I can't test the formatter.

I tried the formatter with a card in the P2Store, and it's not recognised there.
I was able to use the P2Store manager to format the P2 store though.

so mixed luck for me. thank god for P2 stores.
