Note, that, in this case all data stored on the “Memory Stick” will be lost.
• "Memory Stick" formatted on a Macintosh sometimes cannot be used on "Memory Stick"-compatible device. Do not format "Memory Stick" on the Macintosh.

The “Memory Stick”

A “Memory Stick” is small and light, but it has far more storage capacity than a floppy diskette. It is the IC storage media for the new century. Not only can you exchange data between “Memory Stick” compatible devices, but you can also use a “Memory Stick” as a convenient external data storage device that can be easily connected and disconnected.

There are two types of “Memory Stick,” an ordinary “Memory Stick,” and a “Memory Stick” with built-in copyright protection technology (“MagicGate”*).

* "MagicGate" is a special coding technique that provides the basis for copyright protection technology.

In addition to an ordinary “Memory Stick,” there is also a “Memory Stick Duo” that is 1/3 the size and 1/2 the weight of an ordinary “Memory Stick.”
