I've the Sony DSC-F707, so I suppose much of it is the same. Here's
what I did ...
1. As root, lsmod to see what mods are installed. You should look for:
usb-storage
usbcore
scsi_mod
sd_mod
usb-uhci
input
sr_mod
You probably don't need all of these, but that's what I've got in mine
for my system, which does have SCSI HD's.
2. Edit /etc/fstab by making the entry:
/dev/sdc1 /home/userMe/mnt/sony vfat noauto,user 0 0
3. Plug in the camera via the USB
4. Mount the disk with:
mount /dev/sdc1 /home/userMe/mnt/sony -t vfat
5. Diagnose by checking:
/var/log/messages
/var/log/syslog
/proc/bus/usb // this will show you what is being seen
/proc/scsi // see what's here too
That's all it took for me to get it working.
HTH.
