Hi David,
Urgh, housebuying... my favourite reason for procrastination. ;)

I'm not entirely sure that my E2 *has* an SMC socket. There's certainly no metal socket soldered to the motherboard; someone suggested that it might be possible to insert a card and have it make contact with the metal tabs on the motherboard without needing a socket, but I'm not convinced of this. I'm still trying to scrounge one up to find it.
Sounds interesting - may almost certainly be pads for one if it's not fitted. Unless they respan the board and removed it. SMC is a bit nasty though, I can see why you'd prefer USB storage devices!
How complex would a minimal USB stack be? Could we load data off a USB storage device?
I've been wondering this; I have no experience with USB whatsoever though. It could be that porting something like Redboot might be a better idea than what I'm working on ;-) But Redboot and IIRC U-Boot have USB support. Of course if it's easily separable both are GPL so we could reuse their USB stuff! It's likely not to be too compact though.
