I'm considering getting one of those Linux Zaurus SL-C860 PDAs (see links below), but am baffled by the USB connector.
There seems to be no USB connector when I have seen one, in the Yodobashi store they say it doesn't have a USB slot. (Just like home, in Japan the store clerks don't know much about the products too!!) ;)
So whats the deal? Can I connect USB, is it from an unusual slot (which I saw on the PDA) to USB cable?
If so, then my questions are:
1. can I connect a USB hard drive, say 40GB and it'll be easily accessible, ie transfering from the CFII or SD card to the hard drive?
2. can I connect multiple USB thingies to the same USB cable, say a video camera and a hard drive at the same time?

Thank you!

Is anyone out there with experience of the Zaurus PDAs?

I'm not positive about the SL-C860 but...

I have a Zaurus SL-5600 which has a USB port, but it is only usable as a client. As far as I know, only the SL-6000 has a USB host port on it, but I could be wrong.

You should definately check out the following link, as I am not the most experienced with Zaurii:
