usb hdd

[zombie]

hi
would a external usb hdd work on a gp32?

In theory yes, in practice no, because:

(a) GP32 does not power external USB stuff, so you would have to find some way of powering the HDD
(b ) You'd need to write drivers and stuff to use the drive.

ok
thanks for your answer.
i´ve seen ext. usb hdd with an external power supply (220v---->12v).
now there´s only the prob with the drivers.

Well, there's also the problem that the usb cable on the drive is probably not the same shape as the usb socket on the GP32.

That's no problem, there are adaptor cables.
