Yes - I use both in USB mode.

   Forget it - the device needs to be capable of supporting USB operation.
The adaptor just functions as a physical medium changer - allowing you to plug
the sticks into a USB port.  The stick itself needs to be able to communicate
over a USB connection and this requires extra circuitry in the controller.
