Digispark Attiny85 attach USB thumb drive?

[K.M65]

hi everyone

Ive not long had a few of these great little devices and have been playing around with them.

What i was wondering, is it possible to attach a usb thumb drive to the digispark?  So when you plug in the digispark, not only would it run the code you have on it, but also display the files on the USB drive as it would if you inserted it normally.  Like it is piggybacking on the digispark or vice versa.

alternativly is there any way to add storeage capacity to it so you can put files (pictures, videos etc) on to the digispark, to view whilst it also runs its code.

thanks

Possible, maybe. Practical/easy to do - not a chance. The attiny85 on the digispark is really not suited to USB, and is faking basic USB support to be able to mimic a keyboard/mouse. There will simply not be enough memory to do anything like access/enumerate/emulate a USB flash drive, and it would be painfully slow.
