    Hi
    Has anyone successfully implemented the SanDisk "U3" applications in a PD4/Mac 10.5.5 environment. The drive works fine for simple storage but I would like to be able to use the onboard capabilities of the flash drive.

    www.u3.com

    Thanks

    Good and bad news on this issue. First thanks to Parallels for their support.
    Good news is the SanDisk Cruzer Micro Drive does work on a PD4-Vista machine. It works when the USB drive is connected to the VM.
    Bad news is that after inserting the micro drive into the USB port it takes ~4.5 minutes for the U3 system to connect to the VM. At that time all of the onboard capabilities are working.

    One more input and I'll get off of this subject. The SanDisk Cruzer Drive works as advertized on my PD4-XP Pro VM. Plug in the drive and about a second later the drive launcher appears and it is ready to go.
