Usb / would this be possible?

Take a look at this one: www.vinculum.com . It integrates the USB ports with a CPU that runs a USB host stack. The interface to the computer is via a serial port, or parallel FIFO.

Well, as the Jargon File sez. "It's just a small matter of programming" ;-)

That chip is *perfect* for doing USB on the 64.

I don't know much about the 64, being an old Atari 8-bit guy.;-) But I'd guess you could run the Vinculum chip off the serial I/O bus or the hack bus on either machine. I kinda like  Vinculum's V-Music module, with the integrated MP3 chip.... It would be kinda cool to play MP3s on a C64 or Atari 800XL. ;-) Only costs 45 bucks...
