The link you sent doesn't look like the right link...
What you can do with a desktop is get a proper pci to pcmcia adapter. There are several for pc's that will work (none that I know of for a mac). spec-comm makes one. You can find others as well. Needs to work with type II 32 bit pcmcia.

Gotcha. So.... If I have a Mac (Quad G5 Tower), and I want to ingest P2 cards... I am S.O.L.?
That seems a rather odd predicament... Who's the marketing genius who came up with that one? Can I just ingest via the firewire port of the camera? And if not, WTF?
I mean, W... T... F...?
[EDIT - BTW, thanks for the reply, Jason.]

yes, you can offload via the camera. Or, you can offload to an external drive via a pc laptop and plug that into your mac. there are several options actually.
Probably one of the best that Barry just tested and verified, you can read about here:

Full speed transfers and real time playback straight off the p2 card of up to 5 streams of 1080

The simplest, easiest, best option for a G5 tower is the PCD20 5-slot reader, connected through FW800. It's not free, but it'll do the job better than anything else, and it'll work on your G5.

If you want a major manufacturer laptop (like Dell or HP) with a CardBus slot, you will need to choose their large business option, since they offer more "legacy" options.
