I have had some good experiences with cheap floppy emulators that read/write to USB sticks. I would avoid the Sony Memory Stick tbh, you're exchanging one dead medium for another.

I appreciate your feedback but as I mentioned in my last sentence I can't open and modify any instrument in the lab. I agree that Memory Stick is dead (thanks god) but some other instruments such as a thermal imaging camera has compact flash so I need a card reader anyway.

I know this won't help you out, but I figured that someone may find this of use if they don't mind opening up their scope.

They are lots and lots of rebrands of these, shop around.

E.g.

For anyone interested in these sorts of devices, there is a lot of discussion about them on the vintage synthesizer/sequencer forums.

For CRO scopes perhaps find a solution like this.

The hood "hangs" on a slot at the top of the CRT surround. Maybe you can find a viewing hood like this for the TDS420 or like. This one came mounted to a Tek Polaroid camera (originally black color). Any digital camera can be adapted to such a hood

Old school problem requires thinking old school.

Cheers.
