It has a USB port in the back to be useful "someday" (when the Cobalt boxes were conceived, USB + Linux didn't really work, but we knew it would someday. Now, on the Qube 3+, you can attach a printer). The lack of external USB storage support is a kernel issue, and there's not enough demand for Sun to backport 2.4 kernel support... And I don't see anyplace in the RaQ 3 (or RaQ 4) manual where it says that USB is "supported"... In fact, the only mention I can find is on the rear view diagram, where it says "The USB port provides a Universal Serial Bus connection." USB isn't in the index, nor the hardware breakdown in the appendix... -- Bruce Timberlake Linux/Cobalt Technology Engineer Communications Market Area Sun Microsystems - San Diego, CA E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T: 877-718-3569 / x69369 _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
