Chapter 6 Working With Panasonic P2 Media 83
To mount a P2 card inserted in the PC Card slot of a PowerBook:
1 Make sure the P2 Driver Software from the Panasonic website is installed on the
PowerBook.
2 Insert the P2 card containing the media you want to import into the PowerBook PC
Card slot.
The P2 card appears on the desktop as a mounted disk named NO NAME.
Note: You can rename the card after it is mounted in a PowerBook. To be safe, limit
P2 card names to alphanumeric characters (numbers and letters—no punctuation or
other symbols).
