All,

There is a selection (SVGA Ubmp)  in the SVGA menus that will, according to the 
P3 manual,  save a bmp file to a memory stick.  Ref pp 43, 33 in the P3 Owners 
Manual  Rev H1.

Mike,

Connector #22 is a USB port for a keyboard, not a general USB port.  It is 
clearly labeled "KEYBOARD".

You're absolutely correct to note the labeling and I’ve always presumed that is 
the connector is only for a keyboard.  

However, the "P3 HIgh-Performance Owner’s Manual" (Revision F, 11 JAN 16 p.12) 
does have this description of that connector:

"KEYBOARD: USB jack for a USB keyboard or thumb drive (mass storage device). 
Apple keyboards are not supported at this time.”


So the wording does suggest compatibility with thumb drives, but from what I 
can tell there is no discussion in the “Owner’s Manual" about how to utilize a 
thumb drive.  Perhaps this may be a feature that was never actually developed.


FWIW,

My P3 manual states:  "Connector openings {16}, {17}, {21}, and {22} are 
provided for future use."   I think #22 is the USB port on the back of the P3.
