Hello all,
I've got a MacBook Pro and use Crossover to run Manager (I also have Manager running in Parallels on a Win 7 virtual machine). I can do everything I've tried to with an IPO, but cannot figure out how to use the built-in SD card slot to recreate or format an SD card.

Does anyone have any wisdom to offer? I'd really like to not have to keep my old desktop machine available just to do card recreates.

Thanks in advance!
 
Is your device config in your VM set to treat the SD slot as a native device?
 
Well, I guess a big "never mind!" on this question is in order! Inspired by pmcook's simple question, I plugged an old IPO SD card into my MacBook's built-in SD card slot. My computer (specifically, the Parallels Desktop program) then asked me if I wanted this card to be associated with the Mac computer, or the Windows 7 VM; I chose the VM.

I then launched Manager, and the format / recreate SD went like clockwork!

No trouble what-so-ever to report.

Thanks pmcook! Star for you!
