Yes, it is possible since the data transfer speeds are slower than the USB
limit. the only problem is: it's not really feasible. Of the 2 companies
that I know of that experimented with the idea, neither produced because of
the lack of interest and large non-returnable fees involved with actually
developing and producing (en mass) working units. Plus, we all know WinDoze
never likes everything USB. It will always hate that one device you really
happen to need =) In linux, I know of a guy who had the idea, but never
created the assembly (the hardware for the layfolk) or bothered writing the
code for it since he was a poor college student like some of us (ok, so I'm
ex-college, I'm still po').
