Vaio, I presume.  If it has an OHCI chipset it should work, if it's
the proprietary Sony chipset it doesn't because there is no driver.
Either find out which chip you have or just try the OHCI driver (I
think it already recognizes the chip ID of the OHCI chips used in the
Vaios).

The SBP-2 protocol is needed.  That is being worked on already.
