This device works, but it's slow, consumes somewhat expensive watch type batteries and the drivers do NOT work with Windows NT 2000 or WindowsXP.

I just want you to realize that just because it looks like a floppy disk - it isn't something you can pop into any machine and start grabbing your photos from a memory stick. It requires software to be installed on the machine - software that is compatible with the operating system in order to work properly.

I wrote to Sony after I upgraded to Win2k on my laptop and they said there was no support for other OSs planned at the time I wrote them. What a waste - it must mean they are phasing out this product for sure.

It could easily take half an hour or more to download a 64MB memory stick to a PC where the drivers do work. This is a bit better than the serial port adapter but still a long time to wait on getting your photos every time you fill up a memory stick.

I much prefer the USB memory stick reader that I bought last weekend which is FAST - seconds to copy a 64MB stick! And worked perfectly with WindowsXP (RC1, which I've been running for over two weeks now) by just plugging it in.
