I see. So, my old system was just malfunctioning in not detecting that partition.
I found Calilbre, and am looking at it now to see how it works.
Setting up a windows emulator is a pain, so I will work on calibre for a couple of days.
Historically, using porkupan's stuff...
In the one package I downloaded, the ?msc? script was also in python -- and I looked through it. However, what I am hearing from the thread is that msc.exe does something not obvious. I'll have to re-download everything for I can't access what I did from my vacation spot, and look through it again too. One of the packages generated check-summed binaries for the Sony using Linux scripts, and I don't think it required msc to launch it.
When I look at dmesg after plugging in my Sony, the only information I am given is about the usb memory emulation for each of the filesystems on the sony. That puzzles me -- for there does not appear to be an interface other than the filesystems.
Are you suggesting that there is some kind of command sony issues to the control endpoint of the Sony/Linux USB driver through windows DLL's which causes it to enter a special mode? If so, what ought I look for in calibre to see how this works? Or does anyone have a USB packet dump of the transactions I can use to write my own Linux interface driver to probe it?
Thanks for the help.
