Memory Stick Datalogger (#27937) questions

in BASIC Stamp
Hello!
I have one of these Memory Stick Datalogger (#27937), it was sent to me along with a lot of other items by one of the other members. Please do not ask me who.
But the question is one of this, "Can this device and its FTDI developed hosting chip, be used away from a Parallax BASIC Stamp or related device?" The upshot is that I am working on one of my many ideas, the kind that can be considered a deep blue sky, freezing air and and very deep snow on the ground, complete with mountains all over the place, and the person studying things is in the middle. And the problem has a solution hiding behind one of them.
Yes I know that's a very strange thing to include in a forum posting, but, ah that's how I think.
