Can you guys recommend an adapter so I can plug a P2 card into a laptop?

My camera/loader and digital guy only has one of those new Mac Notebooks without a slot for the P2. Is there like an adapter drive which can be connected via USB2?
 
No USB adapter will work with either Mac or PC.

DA, as noted, has worked for me and others. I've not had any major issues with Leopard.
 
I had problems with Tiger recognizing the DUEL. Then after my friend finally got the operating system to recognize the adapter, it never recognized the P2 card. I haven't had a chance to go back and play with it some more, but if anyone has any suggestions, I wouldn't mind hearing them.
 
I have no problems with my DUEL adapter on WIN and MAC. I really love it and it's worth the money.
 
wsturtevant, if your adapter isnt mounting or the card isn't mounting and you're running leopard, the adapter may be bad. look in your system profiler and see if it shows up. there were a bad batch of adapters i guess. myself along with a couple of dvxusers had this issue. also, when using leopard and the DA you must restart the computer if you remove the adapter, but not p2 cards.
 
Thanx guys. The Duel Systems Cradle looks like a good and affordable choice. The USB ones looked nice but were a bit too pricey for my tastes and I can always just plug my HVX200 into my PC if I want to offload at home. I had considered just using a different laptop but I think I'd rather my guy work with his super-speedy Notebook that he's comfortable with. Thanks again.
