Cannot connect MZ-N505 Type-R "Unable To Claim Interface."

[panicBoyMD]

OSX 10.11.6 (Max upgrade) iMac (20-inch, Mid 2009) Using Chrome Version 83.0.4103.116 (Official Build) (64-bit)

My Sony MZ-N505 Type-R will not complete connection. The error message I get is "Unable To Claim Interface." Anyone have any insights? My MZ-NE410 hooks up just fine, but it has a "NoDisc" issue, and won't read discs. How frustrating.

I've got a MZ-N505 Type-R as well and it works fine. However, I had to give Linux the proper permissions, I edited /etc/udev/rules.d/89-netmd.rules to contain:

ACTION!="add|remove", GOTO="usb_netmd_end"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", GOTO="usb_netmd_check"
GOTO="usb_netmd_end"

LABEL="usb_netmd_check"

ATTRS{idVendor}=="04dd", ATTRS{idProduct}=="9013", ACTION=="add", GROUP="users"
ATTRS{idVendor}=="054c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0084", ACTION=="add", GROUP="users"

LABEL="usb_netmd_end"

(The second ID is for the Sharp IM-DR420H, I don't remember which one is which). This gives members of the group "users" the required read/write rights on the device.
