Because of the design and hardware and firmware considerations, I don't see 
any way this could be implemented until/if the "new" BP is developed. It 
might not even require a new physical port, but only changes to the existing 
mini-B port to permit this, but I haven't _any_ idea whether this would be 
doable. Then, APH could supply the same little adapter cable that FS already 
supplies for the PAC Mate and connecting a thumb drive would be simple. An 
internal switching circuit of some kind would need to be developed so that 
either the CF card would have to be removed before a thumb drive could be 
used or, alternately, the thumb drive would override a CF card if one were 
already inserted. I like this one a lot.

How difficult would it be to create a port that would accept thumb drives?
