>>>> Maybe USB holds more promise for solving this problem. << Good thinking but maybe you never check the spec of USB. It is not designed to support storage device. It only have 1.5MB/sec bandwidth shared by all devices in the chain except the keyboard and mouse! (slower than IEEE1284 or ECC/EPP) Digital camera, modems, joystick are good citizen of USB but none of devices I listed can be nicely support by USB.<< Andy - Yes, I believe you're right about USB and storage devices. Maybe Firewire will do the trick. - Allen
