1. Are USB connections 'bi-directional'? Or, will the Zaurus USB sync cable connect to a USB dongle device such as an 802.11g ?? Does the Zaurus provide the necessary power to drive it? Or is the Zaurus strictly a 'slave' device??
Bi-directional yes, but not peer to peer. There are slave and master devices (clients and hosts?).
Everything Zaurus but the 6000 is only a slave. The 6000 can also be a master. You can get CF cards which will allow the (other) Zs to be masters.
2. If the above connection works will the OZ 3.3.6pre1 recognize and drive an 802.11b device connected to the cradle sync cable?
Assuming you use a CF card (or perhaps you have 6000) it depends whether there are drivers for the device, or if they can be compiled.
Not much help I know, sorry.
