How to Mod the Memory Stick Pro Duo ?

This modification will allow you to use the Memory Stick PRO Duo on card readers that require an adapter.
It's very helpful if you lost your adapter or don't have one. It may also work if you push the memory stick in until it reads it. But if not, try the following.

1. Cut off about 5 inches of scotch tape. 

 

   2.Tape one end (about half an inch) of the tape on to the end of the Memory Stick PRO Duo. 

   3.Place the paper clip end to end with the Memory Stick PRO Duo on the tape.

 

   4.Bring the remaining tape around the clip and tape it on the other side of the memory stick PRO Duo. 

   5.Take about 1 inch of tape and secure around the memory stick PRO Duo and the paper clip.

   6. Use the paper clip and push the memory stick in, making sure it is aligned with the slot.

 

Tips.

You may wish to substitute the metal paper clip for a non conductive "stick" like a plastic knife or a strip cut from a credit card (you can finally make use of those fake credit cards you get in the mail with those offers).
