How did this work out for you?

The Catapult it's not yet available...I'm waiting...

Hey Rubio,

Please keep us updated.

That would be a terrific addition to my recital kit.

Any word on whether it would work for the folks using the HVX?

Sounds cool, please let us know how it works out for you. Would a 'firewire' connection be better?

I dont know if it'll work with the VHX200 in all codecs but certanly it will in DV.

The connection to the camera is firewire and the USB.2 is standar for the drive.
I hope they'll offer a firewire connection as well...it's faster.

We're getting closer to the "Second half of 2006"... let's be patient.
