Sorry, but the post of anonymous doesn't seem to answer your question. There is a USB-port at the position described, but it's USB 1.1 - I've got a 600 E myself (Win 2000 pro) and I use a 2x USB 2.0 - PCMCIA-Card by Conceptronic (Order code : C05-088 EAN code : 8714909005807) which shouldn't be too expensive. There are two PCMCIA slots on the right side of the 600 E.
