Today, slightly delayed, I have now tested my card reader/writer with Sony memory sticks. These run as expected very good and I can access them like a hard disk.

Some users say that the device would be too expensive. These users have to consider that they'll own a universal key for all mobile digital devices. These are among others digital video cams (especially those of Sony), digital photo cameras (all cameras with card slot) and MP3 players (with card slot). Additionally, I can imagine that in conjunction with IBM microdrives these drives may be used for data exchange between laptops and Amiga. (Because of a lack of money I wasn't able to test this yet).

A user asked whether compact flash cards would work, too. This can be answered clearly with "YES".

Boot ability of memory cards:
Not tested yet but theoretically possible as I use mount lists to access the memory cards. A RDB block cannot be written on the cards as they have always to be formatted in photo cameras or MP3 players. This is absolutely necessary because of compatibility reasons though you may probably be able to format these memory cards with an Amiga file system, too.
