Cyclone/Stratix USB interface problems

Hi guys, I'm looking to sort out a board so that it can transfer data onto a USB disk, the data coming from an ethernet port. I'm not worried about the ethernet part, that's been taken care of...

The USB interface on Cyclone III Starter Kit is ONLY for programming - nothing more.

I am not sure about Stratix III devkit, but on Cyclone III development board (EP3C120 version), they placed CY7C68013 in parallel to FTDI chip on USB bus. That Cypress chip is left for future use and always kept in reset. I doubt it is useful on this board, so chec kif they didn't do the same for Stratix devkit.
