629 Qio E3 System Installer and Uninstaller (OS X, macOS) 1.5.0Nov-29-2016
Operating System Requirements: Mac OS X 10.6+, macOS 10.12+
File Name: dskcd-qioe3-150.dmg
File Size: 1.3 MB
Description: This software enables the use of Qio E3 with Mac Pro and MacBook Pro computers with a PCIe slot or ExpressCard slot, respectively, and with other Mac computers connected via Thunderbolt. Supports OS X 10.6.8-10.11; macOS 10.12 (Sierra).

Release Notes:
Version 1.5.0 includes an improved, signed uninstaller compatible with macOS 10.12 (Sierra).

Notes:
• If you are updating your computer's Qio E3 software from version 1.1.7 or earlier, and you intend to update its OS from OS X 10.8.1 or earlier to 10.8.2 or later, you MUST install Qio E3 1.5.x software before upgrading the OS! For more information, see this FAQ .
• Apple removed USB 2.0 over Thunderbolt support beginning in OS X 10.8.2. If you are using the Qio E3 connected via Thunderbolt in 10.8.2+, and you need to support USB ExpressCard adapters, then you need to install the USB 2.0 Over Thunderbolt Patch .
• You must also install SxS device drivers to enable the Qio E3 to support SxS memory cards.
 
725 USB 2.0 Over Thunderbolt Patch for Qio/Qio E3 1.1Jun-17-2013
Operating System Requirements: Mac OS X 10.8+
File Name: dskcd-usbtbml-11.dmg
File Size: 35.5 KB
Description: This patch restores USB 2.0 functionality through Thunderbolt under OS X 10.8.5 and 10.9.5 for Qio and Qio E3 users.

Notes:
Qio and Qio E3 support USB 2.0 through the ExpressCard (SxS) slots' USB interfaces. With the release of OS X 10.8.2, Apple disabled USB 2.0 drivers over Thunderbolt. This patch removes that limitation so that USB 2.0 will work through Thunderbolt. This will affect you only if you are connecting your Qio or Qio E3 through an Echo ExpressCard Thunderbolt adapter or Echo Express Expansion Chassis for PCIe Cards. (Beginning with OS X 10.10, Apple no longer permitted driver patches.)

This patch will only run on 10.8.5 and 10.9.5, and you should download this under the following conditions:
1) You have a Qio or Qio E3
2) You are connecting the Qio over Thunderbolt (or will do so in the future)
3) You need USB 2.0 support over the Qio. For example, if you need to use a multi-format memory card reader like the one included with the Qio, you need USB 2.0 support.

749 ExpressCard Hot Plug Driver (Windows) 1.1Dec-22-2016
1085 XQD Adapter Device Drivers Installer for Windows 2018-07-13
Operating System Requirements: Windows 10, Windows 11
Description: XQD driver for Windows 10 supports Sonnet SF3 Series CFexpress/XQD Reader; and also the Sony adapter when used with Sonnet SF3 Series SxS PRO X Card Reader, SF3 Series SxS Pro Card Reader, SxS PRO X Thunderbolt 3 Single Slot Reader, Echo ExpressCard Thunderbolt Adapter, Qio, and Qio E3.

For Windows 21H1 (and newer) there is an extra step required for the Sony XQD driver. Go to Control Panel->Device Manager and find the XQD device. It should be listed as a "Memory Storage Device". It has no driver yet, so it is in a special category in the list. (If you are having trouble finding it, just remove the XQD card, and you will see it disappear. Then re-insert the XQD card, select it, and click "update driver". Select "Browse my computer for drivers" and then navigate to "Memory Technology Devices". The XQD driver should be there. Select the XQD driver and it should automatically load and connect to the XQD card. After that, XQD cards should mount.
