I've lost count of the number of times I've looked to Sony for a particular driver, etc. Been that way for quite some time and not expected to change soon. And at the end of the day, I can support that.no law says they have to provide X when their equipment does the job with Y.Ĭlear to me they've made a business decision as to how far their support will go outside their own ecosystem. Seeing as Sony makes computers, perhaps they don't feel like making it easy for you to buy the competition. Thanks for taking the time to read through. I just want to get to the information on the recorder. Could I look into Sony's packaged software to find out how it's allowing access to the recorder? Could I somehow hack my own USB port (through software?) so I can mess with the device on a very basic level?Īt the very least, I want to be able to read this thing like a flash drive. I'd like to know if there's a way to create a driver that could read this thing. CrossOver is also on my Mac, but the commenters say that won't work either (and I really don't want to virtualize it anyway).

I could easily log onto that, pull the files off, and place them onto my Mac partition with MacDrive, but I don't want to. Even in Windows, the software needs to be installed before the recorder shows up.

My computer won't recognize the device when I plug it in, in Finder or System Profiler. As you probably read in the comments on that site, this recorder doesn't work with Mac or Linux. but I use a Macbook Pro (mid level Penryn, bought right before the unibodies came out).

I recently got a Sony PX720 Digital Voice Recorder:
