There are actually 2 "sony memory stick drives" - With or without
"magic gate technology". magic Gate is Sony's attempt to implement
DRM, and accessing a magic gate stick requires special drivers/code
that Sony has no intention of releasing - you need to use the really
crappy windows software that they sell you. Standard Sony memory stick
should work like all of the CF etc. drives - it's a filesystem device.
You need to find out what you're trying to do.

I seem to recall that memory sticks w/ magic gate are white and
nongate sticks are blue, or possibly the other way around.
