Works Great on HP Zbook G2
I first bought the newer version with the Motorola chipset. No joy with my HP Zbook G2 which has a nasty reputation for now working well with newer expresscards. However, this model expresscard works just fine. As I write this, I'm using it to capture video on my Sonny HVR -AIN with Vegas Pro 15.
