Memroy Stick does NOT fit into a CF slot.
None of these standards fit into each other's slots. The Sony memory Stick is like a Smartmedia card, needing onboard drivers to use.

Here's the big concept I hope you all realize:
What drivers for external Flash memory are loaded into MS Windows, all versions, Win 3.0, 3.1, 95, 98. and 2000 along with NT and CE?

Answer: ATA devices! ==> CompactFlash

No other ones. ATA is a Microsoft compatible standard. Thus, if Windows CE and NT grow, the more CompactFlash will be the winner. The other standards need the other consumer manufacturers of D-Cams and .mp3 players to beat Win CE as a standard.

Place your bets. I have.
