Speaking of USB connectors, I can confirm that if you put a USB
connector on it I would definatly try plugging it into my laptop.. I
just can't resist things like that for some reason.

So if anybody wants to test out a new item against the greater fool I
am available ;)

Examples, Honda navigation system has a PC-CARD slot they use for
programming, been trying to find out what fun and exciting things with
other PC-CARD's could go in there.

Another Example, This one actually worked, Sony's PS2 used ILINK for
their PS2 Peripherals, Attempted to plug a USB network card in it and
it actually worked and was recognized. This was 6 months before any
network adapters came out for the PS2.

Moral of the story, don't use USB or if you do, make sure plugging it
into a laptop won't fry it.
