lilngineer Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I have an acer aspire 3680 with a built in SD card slot. Is it posssible to get this working using an osx86 installation? Currently I am running iatkos4i with 10.5.4 and the 9.4.0 kernel. I appreciate any tips or help.

Mr. Ishaka Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Similar problem, Aspire 7720, in Vista use Ricoh_v352.02 driver (R5C832 RICOH Controller) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/126926-acer-notebook-sd-card-slot/#findComment-902964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reign Of Terror Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 while it would be nice, unfortunately its not going to happen. the SD card slot on the 3680 is tied into the PCMCIA slot, which makes it nearly impossible to create a driver for, unless Texas Instruments designs one themselves, which they wont. there are kexts to get the PCMCIA slot working on a 3680, but it wont make the SD card slot work. I'm afraid you're probably out of luck with the RICOH one as well. my suggestion is to buy a cheapy SD > USB adapter (i picked one up for $3 on ebay) i can suggest a GFR202SD from IOGEAR.

Would there be any hope of using Parallels or VMWare to make it functional?
