Right..
It looks like they are offering pre-compiled downloads that support
different USB tasks, as well as FAT file system. you then control
the chip via commands from a Parallel or Serial or SPI interface.
Not that anyone here would want to dig any deeper into their
embedded controller or anything. ;-)

Could be a good way to support a USB memory stick and FAT file support
easily though. I also see an audio playback module coming soon.

I just thought that some folks here might find it interesting. You might
get more from the FTDI homepage. http://www.ftdichip.com/
