Customer Reviews

A life saver.
I recently bought a digital camera but the software wont run on Windows ME so I bought the adapter and now i can finally put my pictures on my computer. Great buy.

Works for a PC, not on a Mac
A new writer recently got a Sony Cybershot and brought in his Memory Stick and disk adapter for us to download his pictures onto our Macintosh systems. Here's what we found out:
1: It does not work with external USB floppy drives (took forever to come up- and then it showed a blank 32K disk.
2: Switched to an older 61xx PowerPC Mac - the floppy drive showed up faster, but showed a blank 41K disk.
3: tried using the utility CD that came with it - It had a conflict with the PC Exchange/File Exchange extension. We turned THAT off and restarted- and the utility promptly started up and froze the machine.
4: tried using the gadget on a Mavica FD 87 Sony Camera - it didn't work. that answered my long-standing question on that matter.

Works fine and just as expected
The floppy disk adapter perfectly suits people like myself who still have old computers without USB. One first installs the software from the included CD and then formats the memory stick. Be warned that you had better print or save any images you already might have on the memory stick before formatting as all data is lost in formatting.
Once you've formatted you can take pictures and immediately upload and print them if desired by inserting the memeory stick to the floppy and inserting the floppy into your FD drive.
