Flimsy JunkDecember 11, 2008 The duel adapter is great at first for P2 cards, but it quickly breaks. There is no physical damage that I can see but it routinely stops working. I bought 3 of these (and was very gentle with each) before I gave up on them. I've spoken with several other videographers in New York and they all say the same thing. One told me she always buys them in two's for back up. I've recently noticed some competing brands on the market and I am going to try them out next because I'm sick of the dual adapter.
Works great for P2 cardsNovember 26, 2008 I've been using it for months with my 16GB Panasonic P2 card and Macbook Pro. Never a glitch. You have to remember to disconnect the Duel from the laptop only when you're done. If you try to reconnect without rebooting the computer, it won't mount (and on a Mac you might get the spinning beach ball of death). However, you CAN remove the P2 card from the Duel (leaving the Duel attached to the computer) and then re-insert the P2 card later (perhaps after shooting more footage) and the card will mount. There is no solid "click" connection between my Macbook Pro slot and Duel, which is a minor annoyance, but I don't know if that's Apple's fault or Duel's.
Works for some pcmcia cards, but not the one I wantedMay 15, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this so I could use my buffalo high power wireless g wifi pcmcia card with my Dell 1505 laptop which has only an express card slot. No luck, no matter what drivers, installation steps, or configuration settings I try, the wireless will not connect. When the adapter is installed and the wireless card inserted into the adapter, the wireless appears to be recognized by windows XP but never is able to detect any wireless signals.
So for me, this adapter is a $100+ paperweight.
