when 1 Express Card slot isn't enough...
Hi...
the only thing that's inefficient about my work flow (excluding me) is that I use eSATA drives, so when I want to offload my SXS card after a shoot, I have to unplug my drives from the one coveted slot, plug in the SXS card, offload to a fw drive, then the SXS, plug my drives back in. Does anyone know if there's an ExpressCard slot "splitter" or something, that would allow me to have both my SXS card and my SATA drives attached at the same time? Thanks, Malcolm |

1) use the Sony USB drive to offload SxS cards 2) In Sept, FirmTek will be shipping the SeriTek Spyder which will provide 2 eSata connections plus a whole range of other connections interfacing to computer via FW800 |

What I really hope for is a viable SXS to PCIe device for a desktop for fast transfer.

Oooh, the SeriTek Spyder looks to be exactly what I want.
Thanks for the tip Ned. And Craig, wouldn't this do what you want to do as well? Malcolm |

With the caveat that eSATA transfer will be somewhat limited by FW800 - but I guess it's worth it.

Nope as far as I can tell. No ExpressPort (for SXS) into desktop. I'm currently using Sony's which is SxS to USB but I'd rather something that is PCIe that can match MacBookPro input speed.
