I wonder if there is a size limit? Could you just throw a 4TB drive on there and plug and play?

I’m not sure what standard of Memory Stick it supports up to, but definitely not in the TB range*… though now I’m wondering if I could get a Memory Stick and floppy drive expensed… Would love to see a multiple week file transfer estimate lol.

The oldest computer I think I have access to, though is an iMac G4, so if it won’t accept the driver disc and a modern floppy drive, we’d be out of luck.

*unless there’s some ridiculously unholy Memory Stick to SDXC adapter I’m blissfully unaware of…
