I use a Lexar Jumpdrive, with SD cards (I also use them in my camera).
Works GREAT, and it comes with a cord, so I can leave the cord plugged
into the back of the machine, and the other end hanging out where I
can get at it. Be aware, that not all devices of that type, will work.
See:

for information about those that do work.

You won't need that, if you use the cable, but I would suspect that
you should be able to get something from most computer supply stores.
What I did, on my old system, was plug a USB HUB into the internal
connector, and I ran the cable out to the HUB, where I can get at it.
A HUB has the added advantage, that you can get one with an external
power source, so it can handle more devices, with higher power
requirements.

The adapter information is at:

and I don't see buslink listed. If it does work, be sure to send the
information, so that others will know that it works. If it doesn't,
try one from the list, next time.
The internal connector, is more likely for permanently mounted
devices. For more ports, you would need a HUB, which can plug into any
of the available ports.
Hope this helps...
