The Memor 32 is basically a modchip on a a memory card. The device uses a USB connection to allow loading and unloading of save games to and from the PC, but less savory/more clever gamers have managed to do more with the device through a hack, which allows the loading of backups and homebrew software through the connection.
While this may be a sneakier way to sell a modchip, we'll point out that the product is being sold by the very same site that was recently busted and later slapped with a $9 million lawsuit by Sony.
That being said, this device sounds pretty nifty. I wish they could just make a memory card device that would enable me to take imports to friends' houses without having to tote a system.

"Exploiting the Memor32 Hardware we have been able to prepare a software that will allow everyone to play back-up copies of their games and import games without the need of opening and installing a modchip solution into their PS2."
I wonder what it's compatibility rate is though?
