Hi there, Once upon a while, I have a crazy idea.... and this time I think this one is good... Here´s it: create some software that would make the N800 impersonate a USB CD-ROM. I really really really hate having to burn CDs and DVD-Rs to test new linux versions. If I could just download the ISO images to from my N800 and then enable some software that takes control of the USB port and impersonates a CD-ROM accesing the contents of .iso (iso 9660) images on one of the SD cards, it would be GREAT.... There is a Palm OS software that is VERY close to what I want: "Softick Card Export" for Palm OS... it takes control of the Treo / Centro USB port and fakes a "USB MASS STORAGE" (pen drive, thumb drive, card reader call it whatever you want) to the PC connected to it, so the PC side thinks it has a pen drive plugged in, while in fact it´s a "virtual" USB Mass Storage device done in software on the PalmOS side, which reads contents of internal memory and maps it as a usb drive. Of course this ovverrides the USB device ID sent by the Palm OS (otherwise the PC side detects it as what it is, a phone). Well, I envision a Nxx piece of software could do the same.... mounting iso9660 cd images and faking a USB CD/DVD-rom unit to the USB side. How difficult would it be to implement this? any volunteers?.
