Someone already posted here an external device that can connect two
slave usb devices.
I'm sorry i don't rebember the name of the product nor it's brand.
I remeber seeing on their site that common application for it was
connecting a zaurus pda to some other slave usb device, like for
example, a usb disk.

Of course, at the mention of zaurus, linux comes to mind...
Would it work with any device?

I don't have the answer for that, nor did they on theyr site, so i let
it be for a while...

This triggers one of the 'ridiculous ideas' I've had for a while now:
would it be possible to have the Archos JB act as a master? I know it's
a slave, and the USB handling is done by the hardware, and I don't
expect RockBox to do it. But would it be possible to write a different
OS for the AJB that can be run (ROLO-ed) from RockBox and can control
the USB as a master device?
