I understand that the Stamp cannot be a USB host.· But is anyone aware of an interface mod that would allow a Stamp to communicate with a USB flash memory drive.

I am aware of the uMMC.· Anyone used the STAMP DRIVE?·

    If you understood that the Stamp could NOT be a USB host, then you would know that there is no way that a Stamp can communicate with a USB Flash Memory Drive -- which is a USB slave device, therefore needs a USB Master device to talk to it. Never mind the additional overhead of having a file system.

    Having said all that, there does exist at least one Flash Card interface which lets a BS2 store data on a Flash Card -- or an IDE hard disk, for that matter. http://www.star.net/people/~mvs/ , and look for 'Stamp Drive'. It's $100 in single quantities.
