Re: Does the Memory Stick work in linux?

I just spent about 15 minutes trying to remember how the hell I got it
to work and I don't remember how.

I think it's a kernel patch but I couldn't find it on my local system..

But yes, you can use the Memory Stick reader -- I've used mine once to
get images from a friends device.

It's treated as another drive.

Some googling reports:

Anyway my laptop keeps dying, Gargh.  It gets good for 2 or 3 days then
it's horrible for a few days.   Less than two weeks and I can send it
back because I won't need it for a month.  Yay?!
