I already have a post about looking for a way to use the usb client side to be a host on my Z...

You won't be able to use pci usb components, that is the problem. If you could then you could just use a CF->PCMCIA adaptor and use a cardbus usb host.

CF > PCMCIA can only use ISA bus and as far as i know there is no USB host for these... except maybe the RATOC card has one I presume.

My wish - to have a Command & Conquer style game on my Z! (FREECNC!!!) Simcity 2000 would also be great.
