Eric, I'm glad you got a Sony USB digital cam working. I've been watching for information to help me pick something for a webcam and your post interested me. Went to Google and searched for Sony and digital cam products (as in webcam) and came up with nothing for USA. There was an interesting product and apparently it is(or has been) marketed in the UK and Europe, but not here in USA. Is that the case for the Sony cam you installed? That it's a non-US (maybe PAL format) product? Well, it's not a webcam, it's a Sony Digital Still Camera - DSC-P1. Anyway, my friend picked up this camera in either Canada or Japan...

Just a little closure letter here...
A friend brought over a Sony (USB) digital camera of his (sorry, forgot the model #), and the /dev/sd* drive came right up on the console as well as with an 'fdisk -l'. So everything I had been trying was right... just the wrong camera.
Here's a sniplet of a reply from Toshiba in regards to my kind (too kind?) request for a Linux driver for my PDR-M61.
--snip-- "We do not support Linux at this time, and have no immediate plans to add support for it." --snip--
Time to sell the camera!
Thanks to all who wrote! Eric
