Re: How would I interface a flash drive to the RC?

Of course, you should feel free to prove me wrong.
When he showed it to me, I questioned the RC being able to interface with it, and he proceeded to explain how it would work - which went way over my head, because I couldn't program myself out of a ditch if my life depended on it (well, at least in C .. if the RC's still ran PBASIC, I would be fine ).

Like I said, I have yet to see it work. If it does, I'll post it.
