The Ratoc software was actually designed to work with their CF USB adapter but works great with the USB host function on your Toshiba. Make sure you install the version compatible with your OS (I recall that WM2002 and WM2003 versions are bundled in the download). You will most likely not need the host driver as that should already be on your Toshiba (one of the nice parts of built-in host function) and you also may already have the HID driver (I did on both versions of WM2003 on my e805). The big hole that will get plugged is the mass storage driver. When connecting to external storage, remember that the USB port on your PPC will not put out the same power as a desktop's, so for any type of spinning disk you will need an external power source for it to spin up. Also optical drives (CDs, DVDs, etc) are not supported as of yet in the pretty basic WM USB model. It is terrific for flash drives and self-powered external hard drives.
