I have also a Sony camera and I have started to use these "card" readers
"8 in 1" and once that is connected you just plug the memory stick or
any stick in the device and vold will mount it nicely.
I you use it via teh camera you need to alter the "scsa2usb.conf" as you
mention thats part of why I use the "reader".
