Response to Sony TRV30E USB driver problems

It seems that you guys have the same problem with your Macs. I tried to connect it through USB with my Toshiba Satellite 1640CDT with Windows ME and I have an "unknown device" most of the times. It is strange but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. You won't be able to find any driver updates, at least for the camera, since I've searched a lot on the internet. The camera can be connected with most of the PC's I've tried and also with Mac 9. It certainly is a problem with the drivers of the camera. I can give you a couple of clues for this. First try the optional read/writer MSAC- US1 and you will see that you can download your memorystick pictures. That read/writer worked on my computer from the first time, while the camera itself didn't. That is weird, isn't it? Both of them are reader/writer hardware for the memorystick. One works fine the other has compatibility problems. Then try www.usbman.com and a site referred as "computing" of something like that. (The best thing to do is search with GOOGLE) Since I 've managed to connect the camera a few times I came to the conclusion that probably it should be a bug from Sony's drivers. The best thing to do is post these answers to SONY and see if we can get a solution. If any of you finds a solution for this problem please let me know. I also have the same problem!
