Re: Exporting via USB, possible?

[Tim Grossner <tim@grossner.net>]

What he wants is a program on the pc to emulate a USB drive. It would  
be more than just that, though. I think the USB spec doesn't let the  
"host" side do that without a cable termination change. I've seen  
something sort of simmilar, only reversed on the Maemo platform,  
whereas the Maemo unit would look like a USB drive when connected to a  
host, someone wrote a binary for it to actually BE a host and connect  
to a drive, using a USB cable "crossover" (for lack of a better term).
