Panasonic 5-Bay P2 Reader, AJ-PCD20 Drivers

[John Morrison]

Would anyone know if there are drivers available for the Panasonic 5-Bay P2 AJ-PCD20 Reader and OS X Mountain Lion? Panasonic's web-site shows the product, but all links to their support drivers appear to be gone. After finishing my projects and starting up a new one, I've recently had time to upgrade my MacPro to OS X Mountain Lion and the AJ-PCD20 is no longer detected. This is a major problem for a pretty expensive piece of gear to be no longer supported.

The web-sites I'd tried to get downloaded files from are these:

and the link within that page...
Download Driver Software for P2 Products

I just got a response back from Panasonic Support (Thanks guys - it's why I keep buying your stuff).

So, for those of you that have a production studio with capture based on P2 and have at least one 5-bay card reader in your facility - and are thinking about upgrading to Mountain Lion - there's hope. Also, there's a new page for the P2 Reader which has updated links to drivers and such.

Hope that helps someone besides me.
