Hey everyone, I'm sort of betting heavy on this one, and was wondering if anyone has some experience to lend to it. I know some people have posted about similar ideas before, so I hope you can save me some hassle.
I'm trying to set up a mobile PARIS rig using a 2006 MacBook Pro, a Magma 3-PCI chassis (with CardBus/PCMCIA host interface), and my 442.
To make the hardware work, I bought an ExpressCard34 -> CardBus adapter, which connects the MBP to the Magma chassis. In OSX, the System Profiler recognizes that the PCI Bridge is present, but can't see the EDS card (which makes sense, since there's no Scherzo driver for OSX).
I plan on installing XP (via Boot Camp) to run the system, but I'm not 100% sure Mike Audet's new drivers will work with the Magma PCI Bridge drivers. Has anyone tried this before? Is it likely to work?
TIA for the help!
Matt
