I think someone started a discussion on this recently. IIRC the answer is no it won't work (someone correct me if I'm remembering wrong) because the USB hardware in a PC is a host only controller. You would have to use the hardware supported by the gadget usb drivers for one end. I would like to figure out a way to make something work myself to make a big linux pda from a small laptop. Basically that is what I do now without the synching part, I would love to find a way to make the laptop emulate a palm pilot or some other pda so I could make it synch a calendar and address book with a Windoze box.
The USB guess/slave/whatever they are called chips seem to be available on an pci development card, does anyone make a pcmcia version I could stick in a laptop?

Hi USB Guys-
I have a question that I haven't seen an answer to in the FAQ's, so would like to ask it here, if anyone has an answer or could point me towards more information I would really would appreciate it! Greg KH pointed me at this list.
I would like to know if it would be possible on linux, using a
host-to-host cable, for one machine to act as a storage device for
another machine. In other words, to have one machine pretend to be a
USB hard drive or CD-ROM drive by 'exporting' a directory / partition /
group of files.
I originally posed this question to the debian-boot list, but so far no one seems to have any thoughts on the matter.
thanks, Erik Dykema Columbia University AcIS
