270Q34: I was thinking about making the USB a bit more usable. What are the 270Q34: Can I use the Archos as an USB harddisk to store data from my PDA/
271 chances of using the USB port to [play games / share files / list 271 digital camera/phone etc.
272 the device as something other then a hard drive / sell my soul to you 272A34: No. USB is a master/slave protocol, and both the Archos and your device
273 for a nickel]. What do you think? 273 are slaves. Two slaves cannot communicate without a master (usually a PC).
274A34: You really don't want to know what I think, it involves road flares, 274 (An upcoming extension called USB On-The-Go will let slaves communicate
275 microwave ovens and shaved cats. Enough said. But regarding the USB 275 without a master, but current Archoses will not be able to support that.)
276 portion of your question, this is not feasible. First, any ideas
277 regarding special communications over the USB port will not work because
278 we have no control over the USB port itself. We are capable of
279 dectecting if it is in use (so we know which mode to switch to) but that
280 is it. Second, if you would like to have your Archos as a harddrive for
281 another device, know that this will not work either. The Archos unit is
282 a slave. Most other USB devices are slaves as well. So without some
283 master involved there can be no communication. Sorry. Now about your
284 soul. Would you settle for 3 cents and a small wad of belly button lint?
