Very Computer

Hi,

Recently got a Sony TRV320 digital video camera that can take digital
stills as well.  Good camera, but the software is all for Windows.  I do
*not* have a firewire connection on my computer (sigh), but do have a
serial cable that the Windows software uses to transfer the data from
the "Memory stick" which is a FAT formatted memory thing.

Any ideas on software or how I could transfer the stills using the
serial connection without rebooting to windows all the time?  Any good
software out there?

Thanks,

Craig.

Ok, here is an updated question.  I remembered that the "memory stick"
is a FAT memory partition in the camera.  I connect to this through a
serial connection.

So, I think, it should be simple to mount the memory stick right on my
linux box.  I tried the obvious "mount -t vfat /dev/ttyS0 /mnt/sony",
but got a "mount: /dev/ttyS0 is not a block device"

Any ideas on the theme?  (I also tried a "dd" on /dev/ttyS0, but it did
not seem to work either).

Thanks,

Craig.
