About “Memory Stick”
On “Memory Stick”
“Memory Stick” is a new compact,
portable and versatile IC 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
used for external data storage.
Using “Memory Stick”
You can read data from and write data to
“Memory Stick” using Windows file
operations.
Compatible “Memory Stick”
You can use the following types of
“Memory Stick” with the drive.
• “Memory Stick”: standard blue
“Memory Stick”.
• “MagicGate Memory Stick”: White
“Memory Stick” incorporating
copyright protection technology
(MagicGate*).
* MagicGate is a coding method that
allows copyright protection.
Note
Because the drive does not support the
MagicGate standard, data recorded with the
drive is not subject to MagicGate copyright
protection.
Protecting data on “Memory
Stick”
To prevent accidental loss of important
data, use the write-protect switch on
“Memory Stick”. When you slide the
switch to the write-protect position, you
can read data on “Memory Stick”, but it
is impossible to write or delete data.
