Can't find a P2 driver for FCP 6.0

Question

Hi,
We just hired a company to do a shoot and they put P2 files
on my XHD.
They told me I need to download the P2 driver.
They sent me a link to the creative cow site with
a demonstration video and the link to download the driver.
I clicked on the link and and it said Not Found.
I've tried another download at the Panasonic site and
that didn't seem to work-it's nowhere to be found on my harddrive.
In the demo video it said you will see the contents folder
and LASTCLIP.TEXT. and you can't convert the footage without both.
Is this the driver
Any ideas?

OK, you have everything BUT the Lastclip.txt file. And that's something FCP 6 wants.  FCP 7 again, doens't need that.  So...you are in a pickle.
You can try this:
#38-P2 - Missing LASTCLIP.txt file.  How to rebuild.
Shane's Stock Answer #38 - When you offloaded  the P2 cards, you forgot to get the LASTCLIP.tct file?  No worries, not all is lost.
MISSING LASTCLIP.TXT FILE:

If you neglected to copy the "lastclip.txt" file all is not lost. Much like the six million dollar man, we can rebuild him.
Lastclip.txt can be generated by any text editor. If you are using a mac then open up textedit.
Create a new txt file. It will have 3 lines to it.
The first line is the name of the last clip that was recorded.
Back to the finder. Open up your CONTENTS folder. In there, open up your VIDEO folder. Organize the folder by Date Last Modified. Find the name of the last file in this folder. If you have 16 clips in the folder is will be 0016ag.mxf or something like that. Four numbers and two letters followed by .mxf.
Take this name and place in the first line of your text file. On the next line of the text file type in "1.0" (don't include the quotes).
The third line is the number of clips in the folder +1. If you have 16 clips then the third line should read "17" (again no quotes).
I'm not 100% sure if the number on the third line is the number of clips left in the folder (after any on-set deletions) or if it is the total number of clips generated during this session with the card. Try both. Remember to add 1 to that number.
Your txt file should like something like this:
0016ab.mxf
1.0
17
That's it. You should be good to go. Put your CONTENTS folders in separate folders with separate LASTCLIP.txt folders and import them as separate P2 cards.
The annoying thing is that all of the various .mxf files in these 6 folders are locked items and they must all be unlocked manually to erase them.
It's much easier to import direct into FCP 5.0.4 or higher. It does so without leaving all of these locked files on your computer.
If THAT doesn't work, then you'll need to resort to third pary MXF software, like Calibrated's MXF IMPORT (calibratedsoftware.com).  I have it and it's great!
