There might be possibilities with the CF slot as there are a whole bunch of different cards available. The cradle has a USB connection to the host computer but you could bypass the cradle by getting the pin assignments from the developer site and making a cable. On that bottom edge of the case there's also a separate battery charge female jack to charge without the cradle. Battery life on the 5500 isn't all that wonderful so you'd probably need it. I don't see why there would be a problem with MIDI i/o (I haven't tried it), particularly if the zaurus was booted into console mode. There do seem to be some latency issues with the standard GUI running. I'm not sure if running the debian kernel improves that situation. Cheers John -- http://mstation.org
