USB host controller is not all that difficult from what I've seen at
http://microusb.org

If they can do USB on an 8-bit Atari w/ 6502 it can be done on the Coco.

And the idea that there needs to be a driver per device is a given,
USB or not. That said, some device "classes" exist like USB Storage
(basically, SCSI) which work for all USB hard disks and thumb drives.
There would not need to be a driver for every USB Storage device.

The other cool thing about USB Storage is that it uses SCSI
request/response formats so you could leverage existing coco drivers.
