3-6-1 Notes on 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 that of 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 adapter, Memory Stick Duo
is to the same size as standard Memory Stick and thus
can be used with products compliant with standard
Memory Stick.
