Gumstix as a USB device
With the proper expansion card and software setup, currently all gumstix motherboards are capable of acting as a USB peripheral (connected to a PC).

Note: If you want to attach a USB peripheral (a USB drive, a USB mouse, USB webcam, etc.) to a gumstix, you need to use one of the gumstix that are capable of acting as a host.

Note that this solution is not tested.
