Yeah, this would be very handy for road trips with the digital camera. I currently end up lugging along the notebook computer, which is a cryin' shame since the Empeg is already in the Subaru, and has way more drive space than the notebook.
I suppose I might rig up an ethernet-to-USB bridge for it someday, unless someone knows of one that already exists (?).
Or maybe I'll just poke the tail of the IDE drive cable out through the case, so I can plug the compactflash directly to it (with a cable adaptor).
