New Micro SD card interface

I saw in the announcements the new product for writing and reading micro SD cards. In the data sheet all the references to using this relate to the Propeller. Is it possible to use this product with the Stamp as well?

    Assuming you're talking about the micro-SD card adapter, no.

    This adapter consists of just a micro-SD card socket and a couple of pullup resistors. A Stamp has neither the speed nor the storage capacity (data or program) to be able to control an SD card in any practical way. You would need some other microcontroller like a Propeller or SX to handle the low-level details for your Stamp.

    For PC accessible storage using a Stamp, there are a few storage methods:

    Parallax Memory Stick Datalogger

    Vmusic2 Interface Module Can be used the same as the memory stick datalogger, but also plays MP3 files.
    I used the Vmusic2 to make a temperature datalogger for a Polar Bear Plunge

    Bean's SD Card Datalogger Module Not sold anymore, but source code and design files are somewhere on the forums.

    If one of my current projects comes to be, there will be an open source propeller based uSD module that will do exactly what you need. It's at concept stage, so it may be a while before it's available, however, I would like to have it ready for next year's plunge which is March 20th. My goal is to use a "product" for the plunge, not a thrown together circuit in a ziploc bag.
