John Deere has been doing this for awhile. Crap, they showed them at the local farm show two or more years ago. I'm sure the maps are much better, but the technology hasn't changed much. It still takes a good farmer to use it, which is getting rare these days in mass production.
The question is connectivity between different machines and devices...the terapin-mine was a great example. Thanks to those who even attempted to post something useful. The machine does more than just acting as a hard drive, of course, so yes, it will be necessary to have an operating system on it. The question still stands - how can a linux based machine act as a usb master and slave? Are there any existing projects?
