Thanks alot for your feedback.

Cheers

I was doing it last year and ran an ATMEL sample program that turned the NXT into the world's most expensive 256K (not M) Flash drive :-) The hard part is using the (...)

(...) I suspect it could, but I'm not sure that's an approach you want to take. For one thing, there's the question of how to address and handle all the special HW that is attached to the ARM inside the NXT... and furthermore communicate with the (...)
