Apart from PS2 Keyboard, what USB, well, 'things' can you plug in (and have work)?

Cameras? Mice?

Just wondering, as I'm thinking of making my PS2 more, well, 'computery' with the Linukx kit etc etc.

Mouse, keyboard, steering wheel, lightgun, a couple of compatible Sony Cybershot digital cameras, EyeToy, the PopEgg printer (Japan only at the moment).

You can plug in practically any USB peripheral - the only thing is that you need the software to make use of it. I could - in theory - connect my Sony MD walkman to it, but it wouldn't be any use without suitable software.

Presumably, if you had the Linux kit, you could write your own software to make use of anything, if you knew how.

Mouse, Light Gun.

The Eye Toy, when it's released, will use the USB interface.

In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
Many thanks!!
