Yes I can connect it to my Eee pc, I am quite an avid modder of computers, It originally ran on Linux as they all did at release but I replaced it with XP pro SP2 and now SP3 and have Overclocked the CPU to 900mhz (By flashing the BIOS to a beta version that was cut before the 701 was released, it unlocked all the available multipliers), installed 2gb of 667mhz RAM, an internal bluetooth dongle, a touchscreen, an N1 class wireless receiver instead of the G and an internal HSDPA modem.. though when you think about it those are all basic mods really. As you can see it is quite a capable little machine.
Check out the forums here for great resources about it all.
Thank you very much for the recommendation of OziExplorer, I will definitely take a good look at it.
