Ha!  Ha!  Ha ha ha ha!  Sorry man, just tossed the cookies
there, that statement was just too funny.

[ Insider knowledge:  USB was never designed for block
devices ]

Anyhoo, understand that USB isn't a set of standards, never
was.  Although some standards have been built around it for
various functionality.

Furthermore, you still have to have an OHCI (1.2/12Mbps) or
EHCI (480Mbps) driver for your host.  End user devices are up
in the air, although most storage devices have come up with
simple block mechanisms that are typically followed.

Depends on your chipset.  I'd be interested in finding out
more.
