About a “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 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” media are available in three sizes: 
standard size, compact “Memory Stick Duo” size, and the 
smallest “Memory Stick Micro” (“M2”
1)
) size. Once 
attached to a Memory Stick Duo adapter, a “Memory Stick 
Duo” is the same size as a standard “Memory Stick,” and 
as a result can be used with products requiring a standard 
“Memory Stick.” Also, once attached to a standard-size 
M2 adaptor, a “Memory Stick Micro” is the same size as a 
standard “Memory Stick,” and as a result can be used with 
products requiring a standard “Memory Stick.”
1) “M2” is an abbreviation for “Micro Memory Stick.”
