usb function mass storage driver

hi?
Is it possible to make ce device as a usb mass storage device to host?
Of cource, using activesync I can connect the ce device via usb line with
host.
But I found if I remove the activesync catalog from my os design, then the
ce device was no longer detected from host.
what should I do if I wanna make my ce device as a usb mass storage device
without using activesync?

Yes you can expose a usb mass storage device to haost using the USB
function mass storage class driver. The component you can found in the
catalog of the Platform builder. Additionally you need a block device
(DSKx:) on your target that is needed by the USB Function mass storage
class driver.

yes, you can use RAMDisk driver for example and include that into your
image for testing the USB function mass storage. In the online help you
can find teh information how to enable a bock device driver.
