We must check:
- if there are physical limitations on the USB chips
ie - no way to power the VBUS, etc.
- ways to solve these limitations
A simple 50cents smd transistor controlled by the H1
would solve this.
- How much of the USB control can be done in software
Most hackers will find this quite an interesting job,
most programmers would hate.
