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 can interface the hardware or not (e.g.
image capture on a camera for motion detection - the NXT has way to
little memory to do something useful here!).
