Can I hook up a USB Ethernet adapter to the empeg?

Unfortunately, you cannot. The USB on the empeg is a slave port. You need a USB master to drive the adaptor and the empeg doesn’t have one and won’t have one. The empeg folks have said that: • they don’t have room • 99.9% of the people need a slave device so they can hook it up to their home PC for downloads (and a master can’t talk to a master without special additional hardware), and • USB master chips usually come attached to a PCI bus – which the empeg doesn’t have.
