Duel Sytems Adaptor at DVinfo.net

Mike McEntire · January 23rd, 2007, 11:34 AM

Hey I am in the same boat as a bunch of people on this forum. Macbook Pro and P2. I have sent several emails to Duel Systems regarding the realease of the PCMIA to 3/4 express adaptor. I never get a response. Just wondering if anyone has gotten one of these adaptors yet, and if so where did you purchase from?
thanks,
Mike

hey Mike
Last week, I spoke to mike Freier (Beta Program Coordinator at duelsys.), looks like they're still working out bugs in the system, like you, I tried to get a definite answer on when this card will be available, but he was not even able to give me an approximate release date, which is probably bad news.
I'll post a message if I hear of anything else.

The adapter is in Beta testing right now, and it sounds like it's release is drawing fairly near. A completely wild guess with nothing to back it up, would be maybe a month. Two months, max. But that is just a guess, as there is no official word on the release date. It is confirmed that it is in Beta testing right now, though. So, whatever that means to you. could be close, unless they discover some big bug that sends them back to the drawing board.

later,
Jason

i emailed them while ago and never got anything back either...
I went other way, just put some more money in and bought a laptop with PCMCIA port
