I know this is probably a silly question but I figured I would ask it here instead of Goggling for an hour. What adapter is there for loading from a p2 card into a mac workstation. Is there a recomended PCMCIA adapter that anyone is using? I have both G5 and macpro workstations. I am aware of the dual systems adapter for the macbook pro (which I also have) but have never thought about ingest into my workstation until now. I would like to have something that I can plug the card into instead of plugging the camera into the mac via firewire.

Thanks in adavance for saving me some Google time(hopefully)!
 
The only ones I know of are the PCD20 five-slot reader, or the P2 Store or P2 Gear. I don't know of any inexpensive direct-slot loader for the Mac.

I made the same request earlier today but no response. I found an inexpensive P2 reader that can slot into a tower but the company doesn't promise it will work with a mac. They say they've had reports it works but they don't support it. It's only $110 so I'm tempted to try it. Check it out:

And that's why Barry didn't recommend it -- he doesn't want to make you guys guinea pigs.
 
Well, give me some of that good ole Guinea Pig chow then because I'm going for it. Just ordered one of the Amtron drives and will try it out in my Mac Pro. You may see this drive on Ebay soon though if I can't get it to work.
