Please Help-Dual Systems adapter not recognizing 8gb P2 cards

[Gregg]

I installed the latest software from their website.

My laptop is a Sony Vaio with Vista

The laptop shows that my dual adapter is connected only when I switch to the "A" position (this is the opposite from what the install manual says is normal for XP) I read the trouble shooting guide and it said to try the ? "A" position and it worked.

So now the only issue is that my P2 cards are not being recognized. So I downloaded the Panasonic drivers from this page
http://www.duel-systemsadapters.com/support/downloads.cfm

I try to install but there are like 15 different types of drivers and I have no idea which to install.

I go to Panasonics site and and try to find the drivers but have no idea exactly which drivers to download.

I click on "Download Driver Software for P2 Products" but the drivers there seem to be for the various cameras Panasonic makes.

Could someone please, PLEASE pinpoint the exact drivers I need to download? I have a shoot on Monday and need to get this working now. I called up Dual Systems tech support and they seemed clueless. The guy did not even know what P2 was.

I haven't used the Duel Systems adapter, but my guess is you'll need these drivers:

https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/support/cs/csregistp2m/soft/pcdriver_winvista.zip

My understanding is that you need to install them after installing the Duel Systems drivers, and you need to select the PCMCIA option.

Where do I "select the PCMCIA option"? When I install that file I don't see this option.

 

[Gregg]

Which one of these do I install?

AJ-BCD10(P2 drive) USB driver
AJ-SPC800(P2 cam) USB driver
AJ-SPCD850(P2 deck) USB driver
AJ-SPC900(P2 store USB driver
AJ-PCS060(P2 cam) USB driver
AG-HVX200(P2 handheld) USB driver
AJ-PCD20(P2 driver) USB driver
AJ-HPM100(P2 mobile recorrder) USB driver
AJ-HPC2000(P2 cam) USB driver
AJ-HPX2100(P2 cam) USB driver
AG-HPX500(P2 cam) USB driver
AJ- PCD20(P2 driver) 1394 driver


This is the complete list of options.

Here is the list of options straight off the Panasonic site. I see the PCMCIA option at the bottom but in the actual software it is missing!

AG-HPX500
AG-HVX200
AG-HVX202EN
AJ-SPX800
AJ-SPD850
AJ-SPX900
AJ-SPC700
AJ-HPM100
AJ-HPX2000
AJ-HPX2100
AJ-HPS1500
AJ-PCS060 (Include P2 Store Manager)
AJ-PCD10
AJ-PCD20(USB)
AJ-PCD20(IEEE1394b)
P2Card CardBusDriver (for PCMCIA Card slot)

 

[Gregg]

Does anyone have the driver download with the PCMCIA driver option listed? Perhaps this is a new download and Panasonic did not include the the PCMCIA option in this particular file.

I was under the impressions that the PCMCIA driver will not intstall unless it detects a P2 card inside the PCMCIA slot...which doesn;t exist since there is only an express card...
