Hi,
Those USB memory sticks on PC are getting quite popular.
and that's not strange, cause are really convenient.
Does anyone know if it is possible to make a device for the MSX that can read
and write those memory sticks? (something like the CF adapter).

Great! I didn't know these devices existed, that's very cool stuff 
On a sidenote, I guess when Serial ATA drives become mainstream it's possible to use a Parallel ATA to Serial ATA adapter on the Sunrise IDE interface. |

Unfortunately, chaos is not talking about Sony Memory sticks, but about generic USB memory sticks.

OH yeah, those... They suck! 
Seriously, the only way to read them is through a USB interface, and the protocol is probably different for each manufacturer... So it'll be tough. |

I think they use a common USB Mass storage protocal, as almost all digital cameras do as well.

Really? Well, that would simplify things, but it's gonna have to wait until someone creates a MSX USB interface.
