Sony Clie PEG-TJ37 Memory Stick Questions

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

The program to read files from memory stick on PC is built into your
Clie. Connect your Clie to your PC with the hotsync cable and start
"data import" from the launcher on your Clie. The memory stick will show
up as a new drive on your PC.

I don't know the answer to your other ?. I use a memory stick pro.

You have to have both ends. There's a piece that comes on the CD with the
Clie that you have to install on the PC.

A Memory Stick Pro is from this viewpoint no different from any other. One
needs a special adapter that attaches to the PC somehow (might be USB or
PCCard or attach in some other way) and one inserts the card which then
appears as a disk on the PC (assuming the PC is running a recent version of
Windows--with other operating systems it might be different).
