Mini USB Accessories

[eayuwna]

I'm not very up on how USB works. Is it completely standard?

I was just wondering if there is a mini-usb full-sized keyboard or any other accessories that might work with the universal?

Do PDA's just need drivers and an interface and they can run anything like a PC? With the mini USB port on the Universal is it likely that any mini-usb accessory could work? I saw somewhere that it works with an IBM external HDD, would this also apply to the ZIP disks and stuff?

This is interesting BTW: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus

you can get cables which have mini usb in one end and any type of usb connector in the other

yes pda's require drivers just like pc's

but that may not be enough

if the pda dont support host mode it would be like trying to connect your
external harddisk with your usb mouse :)

Oh well.

I'm quite happy if someone wants to delete this thread by the way.
