Hi Casey, > Just wondering what the "USB-powered plug adapter" does. It looks > like a USB host. Does it only provide power? I basically just eliminates the cable. USB hosts typically have a female style A conenctor (look at the back of your computer). You'll notice that the ThumbStix has a male style A connector which is the same as a USB cable. This allows it to plug in directly to a USB host (much like your USB flash memory cards do). The Thumbstix powers the gumstix and allows you to access it via usbnet. --=20 Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |
