Hello! Andrew is right. Don't do that. Track down and buy one of the devices described on that Wiki page. Further along, it happens that the gadget chips were originally used for a cable that enabled "simple file transfer methods" for sending files from one computer to the other, and I asked about them. Turns out that the cable might have been perfect, except that it also isn't the right one. Naturally I am also looking for the classic USB gadget cable or in this case card, as described in the 2.4.33.3 USB area. ----- Gregg C Levine [email protected] "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again." -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
