(...) One VERY significant electrical difference is that the host provides power to run the slave. Since the NXT thinks it's a slave, it won't provide power - so your thumb drive will have no power. So - no matter what, there is at least *SOME* (...) (19 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I'd say: Why bother? Connect whatever device you need to the PC, and have it talk to the NXT either via Bluetooth or USB. OK, you'll need a Software on the host PC, but for some peripherals, the NXT will just not do, regardless of wether you (...) (19 years ago, 10-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)
