Beta users of Duel Adapter to MacBook Pro

Cynic, you may have already shared this, but how are you dumping your cards? P2 genie, disk images...

Thanks
 
Folders.

I just drag (+option key) and drop to my Macbook Pro into a folder. Takes about 2:15 to copy a 4gb card to the internal HDD. Then that card is ready to go back to the camera, and then i copy to an External HDD. But depends on how hectic the set is and the availability of hard drives and time constraints .
 
Well, I also just purchased the adapter (shipped today), but didn't realize that it would not work with 10.4.9. Going to 10.4.8 is not an option.

I just filled out the technical request email form on their website. Maybe if they get enough requests from those of us running 10.4.9, something will happen. I don't want to wait until October to be able to use the adapter (ironic that they are ready for 10.5).

Thanks, I just put in my request for a 10.4.9 driver at the Dual-Systems sight and noticed that they now are stating "Note: This driver will install on Mac OS 10.4.8 only. A separate driver is being developed to support 10.4.9." ....... So, maybe enough people made 10.4.9 requests to make them take notice and hopefully act quickly. There's power in numbers!
Here's a link to the downloads page where the results will show up.

re:

Just curious if any of you folks running 10.4.9 ( I just got mine today and it works fine so far under 10.4.8, see the post elsewhere, remember you have to install two driver sets possibly, one from Panny and one from Duel) have tried to bypass the installer by extracting the needed files maually with something like Pacifist?

Pacifist didnt work for me, i was attempting to fix the newest driver. :/

What versions do you have? I show the "IOPCCardFamily" driver as version 1.6.2 and the "P2PCCard" driver as 1.3.0. I didn't have any trouble extrating them with Pacifist. I'm not sure if you folks are not able to run the installer or not. If yes, then this probably won't help and Apple has done something else in the 10.4.9 update. I can post the drivers I have and anyone unning 10.4.9 could try them to see if they work?
 
idunno, im running the 10.4.9 Duel Adapter drivers, not the 10.4.8 only drivers. :/ not a concern of mine really, been up and running on for more than 3 or 4 months now, whenever the beta started

Where'd you get that 10.4.9 drivers?
 
Funny - I'm not getting anywhere near the transfer speed that someone posted earlier.
4 gig card takes about 7 minutes to dump. This is faster than plugging the camera into the MBP via firewire but not as fast as when I plug the card into the PCMIA slot on my PC - there it takes about 4 minutes to dump a 4 gig card.

Maybe those "10.4.9" drivers that cynic821 is using are faster than the "10.4.8" ones.

i asked for info on the retail version, still watiing, any one have a pic?

Here's one, may be poor I know. Anything in particluar you want to compare with your beta unit let me know. I'll see if I can do better. Also, has anyone else tried the 10.4.8 version drivers under 10.4.9? If i get to it, I'll boot up my backup on an external firewire and update it to 10.4.9 to see if old drivers work or not.

Thanks ginseng! I got an email reply back this afternoon stating they are working on drivers for 10.4.9. They must have added that note to the website because they received the same request a lot yesterday.

Hopefully they follow through soon and get it to us. Seems like Cynic hasn't has any issues with the beta for a few months, so I don't know whats taking them so long.

For anyone else, don't let the note on the website stop you from sending them an email. We need to make sure they hear us!
