Ahh, you are talking about the black Magic Gate MemoryStick reader for
UniLink...
What I know about the unit is this--is connects to UniLink just like any
other changer and it behaves just like an MD changer when connected to a
UniLink head. That means you get proper text in the form of the MD-Text
support that any UniLink head bearing "CD/MD changer control" has. The
thing itself looks like an electric razor or something if you ask me!
Also, I don't know about Europe but the unit wasn't available in North
America. I think, in fact, it was a Japan-only model.
Be advised, as well, like ANY Sony device that can play MP3s from
MemorySticks the UniLink reader needs to use MagicGate MemorySticks (which
are white in colour)--the regular (purple) MemorySticks won't work. This is
because MagicGate sticks adhere to the check-in/out rules prescribed by SDMI
(Secure Digital Music Initiative or something like that).
I think the model number was MGS-1 or something similar to that...

Oops sorry, I forgot your second part. No, the unit can't display video
AFAIK. It is only supports MP3 sound files. Since the (non-"pro") Memory
Sticks are limited to 128MB (well there are 128MBx2 ones but they have to be
"flipped" to access the two 128MB portions on the Stick), it wouldn't really
be too practical for video anyway...
