Something worth considering: it might be necessary to build Memory Stick emulators to keep retro Sony hardware alive one day.
Already saw this a while back with Sony Memory Sticks, which is funny for how short a lifespan those have had compared to SD cards. Some older Sony devices don't like anything but original Sony Memory Sticks, and nothing larger than 128 MB. Even a Memory Stick Pro in an adapter won't work.
