I just noticed in N&V's that FTDI has a new IC that supports USB drives using a FIFO, UART or SPI interface.
Since Parallax has a partnership with FTDI, was curious if Parallax has any plans for·distribution of these IC's and hopefully the kits and modules, as well?
This is going to be·fantastic (at least in theory)·for logging data STAMP/SX data to 'jump' drives and could be use to easily exchange·data from our pc's to our STAMP/SX applications and maybe even use as an·external· eeprom for data.

Here's some kits and modules·they offer,·but only one is currently available (VDIP1 @ ~$36.00).

Just wanted to let the forum know!
