Could 8051 use memory stick??

[05438560]

Hi could anyone tell me if it would be possible to write serially from an 8051 to a usb memory stick using a serial - usb adapter. If not could anyone explain my options for storing data to external memory (not RAM) which i could then retrieve with a PC. I will have a couple of KB of data.
Thanks

No you can't, use an SD memory card instead.

Have a look at my site. **broken link removed** is PIC related, but might help you some.

Also have a look at the third post down in this thread:

If you're new to MCUs then this project just might be way too much for you at this point. Try anyway, but you might have to learn more basics first.

If you still want to use USB stick, i recommend you the following gadget.. sort of
