Getting an HP netbook & Rosewill Card Reader to read a P2 card

[pkendall]

Being a Mac user, I recently bought an HP 2140 Netbook running windows XP and a Rosewill card reader and low and behold it doesn't work like it should. The 64 gb P2 card doesn't show up on the computer (I does show up if I plug it in through USB through my camera). What to do? I was wondering if somebody had some good advice other saying switch to another brand.

thanks.

Install the P2 CardBus driver. Put the Rosewill in, put a P2 card in it, and then install the driver.

Hey PK,
Did you ever get that HP 2140 to work? I just got one, and am trying to make it work with the Duel Adapter that 'used to work' with my Mac (so far the adapter has a resource conflict and the P2 cards aren't recognized).

Let us know how it worked out for you!

Okay, I fought like H>*& and got the settings right on the HP 2140. Snow Leopard sees the Duel Adapter and everything works like a charm. I can also dump fron the Duel straight over to E-Sata drives since the express card slot on my MBP is now open.

Initial setup between Snow Leopard and Windows Home addition was a HUGE pain, but disabling & slightly modifying Windows Firewall and McAfee Firewall solved the problem. Whooo Hooo!
