3-9-1 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.”
