works fine on debian woody. will try dsc-f707 camera - sony cybershot direct connect later.
as root
mkdir /mnt/camera
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera
cd /mnt/camera/dcim/100msdcf
ls

I've just tried the device again with 2.4.14. It works very well with 337 kB/s write and 383 kB/s read (usb-uhci). Yes writing does seem to work now. I mount the stick via autofs which is very convenient.
If I swap between the 4 Mb stick and the 64 Mb stick I need to 'rmmod usb-storage' when there is no stick in the drive otherwise you get 'is not a valid block device' errors. This is due to something not noticing that the size of /dev/sda1 has changed from 4 MB to 64 MB - 'cat /proc/partitions shows this quite clearly. Killing usb-storage fixes this.
In all I'd rate the adaptor 10/10 - I've used to to transfer 1 Gb or so of images with no image corruptions and a fine transfer rate. |

I'm using one of these with 2.4.14 and it's working perfectly. The filesystem on the memory sticks is FAT12, so mount it with the -t vfat option. (or just make an entry in /etc/fstab for it) I've done this with both an 8 meg stick and a 64 meg stick and they worked fine. |

I see a lot of people have had the same problem I had with mounting the FAT12 partitions created by Sony cameras, but no one else has posted a solution. I found I was able to mount the memory stick if I changed the partition type to FAT16 (id 4) instead of FAT12. It's not clear to me why this would have an effect, but it definitely made the difference in my case. My DSC-P30 has no problem reading the memory stick after the partition type has changed.
And just for the record, the DSC-P30 can /not/ read the memory stick if you change the partition type to ext2. ;) |

US5 is working fully in 2.4.5 as long as between loading different size memory sticks you do 'rmmod usb-storage'. I assume the same trick would work for US1 too. |

Well, with kernel 2.4.5 it is half-working. I use the Sony mouse MSAC-US5 which presents itself as MSAC-US1 reader. It correctly loads all the drivers, but mounting a filesystem generated by Sony PC110E kamera is not possible. fdisk shows it as a FAT12, but it looks like the Sony camera decides to create FS slightly differently which than makes mount refuse to mount it as FAT filesystem.
If I than format it with mkdosfs I can read/write correctly, the camera does not complain when I use such a memory stick, but the moment first photo is recorded, the filesystem is created "Sony" way, and Linux would not mount it again...
I just discovered that the 32MB stick mounts and works OK. for 4MB and 64MB fatfs complains about "bogus logical sector size 65535"

I was able to get read /and/ write working just fine with the above change.... but, it only worked for my 4MB Memory Stick. I was unable to even mount the 64MB Stick.... because there was no suitable fs type for it. Under fdisk, the 64MB reported as FAT12, I believe.
Anyone know of a solution? I'm dyin' over here! ;> |

My MSAC-US1 is working well. I changed US_SC_SCSI into US_SC_UFI in the 'unusual devices list' in usb.c. |

Linux kernel 2.4.0-test5 finds the device just fine. Wanted to know if there is any documentation related to mounting it? |
