About a "Memory Stick"

What is "Memory Stick"?
"Memory Stick" is a new compact, portable and
versatile IC (Integrated Circuit) recording medium
with a data capacity that exceeds a floppy disk.
"Memory Stick" is specially designed for exchanging
and sharing digital data among "Memory Stick"
compatible products. Because it is removable,
"Memory Stick" can also be used for external data
storage.
"Memory Stick" is available in two sizes: standard size
and compact "Memory Stick Duo" size. Once attached
to a "Memory Stick Duo" adaptor, "Memory Stick
Duo" turns to the same size as standard "Memory
Stick" and thus can be used with products compliant
with standard "Memory Stick".
Types of "Memory Stick"
"Memory Stick" is available in the following four
types to meet various requirements in functions.
"Memory Stick-R"
Stored data are not overwritten. You can write data to
"Memory Stick-R" with "Memory Stick-R"
compatible products only. Copyright protected data
that requires MagicGate copyright protection
technology cannot be written to "Memory Stick-R".
"Memory Stick"
Stores any type of data except copyright-protected data
that requires the MagicGate copyright protection
technology.
"MagicGate Memory Stick"
Equipped with the MagicGate copyright protection
technology.
"Memory Stick-ROM"
Stores pre-recorded, read-only data. You cannot record
on "Memory Stick-ROM" or erase the pre-recorded
data.
