Will test the HVX tomorrow: Need help installing P2 driver on Pbook!

I'll be able to try the HVX 200 tomorrow. I have FInal Cut pro 4.5 on my laptop. I also downloaded the p2 driver from Panasonic's website. How can I dump the P2 card to the Mac? I have mac osx 104.1, but cannot update due to loss of serial number and being on a controled network (cannot plug my mac on this PC network). I really need help since I really would like to test the workflow of dumping the P2 cards to my Powerbook...

Where do I put the P2 driver folder on the Mac?

Thanks a lot. All help is appreciated

EDIT- I have Final Cut 5 in my home workstation where I'll edit the files...
 
plug your camera via firewire into the computer with fcp 5 (update it all the way to the latest version). then locate the button underneath the eyepiece it's right next to the word "MCR".. press the button for 3 secs. the cards will mount on your desktop like hardrives..

you need FCP 5.0.4 and you need to install the drivers that comes on the cd that came with the camera. (all you do is double click on the icon and it installs it automatically) after this it will work.
 
Thanks. The Panasonic Hong-Kong personel already installed the drivers on my Powerbook. Thanks for the detailed info, tough. I'm planning on buying the new FCP universal package, so this should be very usefull when I reinstall FCP.
