Using BS2 and Homework board, is it possible to store data on a thumb drive?

I know that I can use a BS2 to collect certain data and store it on EEPROM from a remote source.· I wonder if the BS2 be used to program one of those USB thumb drives to store the data on·such a storage device?

My circuitry: Basic Stamp homework board with Embedded Basic stamp 2, powered by 9v battery. It has a serial port connector, a header for connecting i/o pins to embedded breadboard, with volt regulator and some EEPROM.

No, not without a co-processor between them, such as this one:

The Stamp isn't fast enough nor does it have enough memory to talk directly to a USB device.· Depending on how much data you need to store, you can add external EEPROM, such as this one:

Note:· You can't use an external EEPROM to increase the Stamp's program memory.· It won't work.

You can use an external EEPROM for data storage…You can also use the Thumb Drive with our Datalogger however I would recommend a better power supply than the 9V battery for this to work properly.
