Embedded Linux as Attached USB Storage Device?

Posted by Cliff on Monday December 3, 2001 @02:51PM from the penguins-as-consumer-devices dept.

dont_drink_the_water asks: "I am currently working on a few projects which will (hopefully) use Embedded Linux to deliver content (mp3 players, web servers, other possibilities). The question is, can Linux act as a USB attached hard drive, so that other machines can simply read/write data on the hard drive by using the USB port? Is anyone currently working on projects like this, and has any software been developed for this purpose?"

Note: While they say they are based on linux, they do not appear to of have released the sources anywhere that I can find. They do claim to be making a developers kit, but that is alos hard to find at the moment....
