Ah, and how much does such a thing cost?(or which pins do I have to figure out with a 80pin cable soldered on the mainboard of the 620lx)

I think doing this with a "hand-job" will be cheaper...
I have to screw it up so or so because I want to lead out the speaker and micro wire for using a headset...

The speed that dvd-rom drives read is close to many hard drives. Burning is similar. Simply, I highly doubt it is possible to write a file larger than half a meg to a dvd before failing.

CD-burners may have hope, though - I have wondered about this multiple times. But since the usb cf card for the 720 costs more than a new microdrive ( ), I never got to test this. My guess is that 2x speed for burning is definitely possible, and 4x is about what it can really do (512kb/sec). Of course, this would only really be plausible if you had a microdrive, as that is the only media that anyone would have that has more storage space than a cd, and thus, a system backup could be made. No reason really, otherwise (except for those nifty little 250mb cdrw's, but I still prefer zip...)

EDIT: When did I become a sensei? Hmm...

As CE2.0 doesn't support USB(and even CE2.11 I think) it is impossible to use any usb storage. My question is cuaed by the fact that I want to use my H/PC in next summer as a storage backup for my digicam and the digicam doesn't have a dvd or cd burner integrated...

ce 2.11 supports usb fine. (just not for syncing)
