I waited outside walmart for 9 hours and got shafted by being 5th in line. They only had 4 premiums so i bought the core since the only accessory I wanted was the hard drive since i got HD cables for free from a friend. Now I can't find hard drives anywhere and I don't want to spend $40 on a memory unit.
What I want to know is: has anyone made any progress on using a regular USB flash drive as a memory unit? Is the difference between it and a memory unit in the hardware or is it formatted specially? I realize nobody has probably done this yet, but hopefully this can spark some interest. Thanks.

Just picked up a memory card to play with, had to go to 3 different towns to find one.

JoHnnyTK36: did you use resistors in the two datalines?, they would get 5v on them i think while connected to the pc. sad.gif

Oh, one little tip, dont use the connector to force the little pcb out of the plastic casing, it will break off wink.gif
