	Welcome to Sony's mess. _Some_ Sony devices use /dev/ttyUSB1, and
some use /dev/ttyUSB0 (only 2 that I know of use /dev/ttyUSB0 at this
point). Make sure you have the right /dev entries. I would _STRONGLY_
recommend against using devfs on your system.

	This should get you going:

	mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
        mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1

	Also make sure the user who needs to read/write from those entries
has the proper permissions to do so.
