MultiMediaCard to MemoryStick Adapter?

Posted by Cliff on from the translating-the-hardware-signals dept.

Philipp Markus Alexander Schmid asks: "Does anyone know if there exists a MMC to MemoryStick adapter? There is this wonderful SonyEricsson P800 which comes with a memorystick duo slot. I'm currently building a MemoryStick standard to MemoryStick duo adapter for the phone (because of the non-existing availability of the duo). The next step would be an MMC to memorystick duo adapter, but is there a device or chip that can convert on the fly between MMC and MemorysStick?"

    I suppose one will bring up Beta, which rightly died because Sony made it proprietary and abused their monopoly of the format to stop people using their format for anything "distasteful" (not for long, but who wants to deal with a company that emits even a hint of regulating speech?)

    Funny when you brought this up. Beta was really widely accepted in a place where Government loved to regulate speech - Soviet Russia. I remembered we were shipping a lot of Beta function TVs and video-recorders to Soviet Russia. Sony and few manufacturers made unifunction TV/recorders(Beta) because multifuction, which were already popular at time, were NOT welcomed by Russian Government. Somehow I found they've striking similarity in their believes, heh. :)

    I'm not sure whether Russians are still using Beta TV now. Anyone would update me? (begins with IN SOVIET RUSSIA :)

  2. Duo Availability by Oculus+Habent · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Notably, you can buy a MagicGate 64 MB Duo Stick at Sony's website - $70 for 64 MB is a little much, but it adds the Duo-to-Memory Stick adapter.
