I've tried this and when I get to the next screen and the system states 
that I don't have a camera connected.  I am using an older Sony SC-85. 
I also want to use a Dazzle 4-in-1 reader.  The system recognizes the 
device and will react when I insert a Sony-type memory stick, but will 
not recognize the directory structure on the stick itself.

This might work.  I will try it and report back.
