The SDA host only supports SD and MMC media. The other media types have
to use the proprietary interface.
(There are no public specs available for memory stick or xD media. You
have to work with Sony or Fujitsu to get those specs. I believe Sony
will sell you specs for a fee and an NDA. I don't know of *anyone*
who's gotten xD specs out of Fujitsu though. This is one reason, IMO,
why xD is a dying format.)
