Cable? No. http://www.twstore.com/gcusbafxm.html looks like the right thing in adapter shape, though. Unfortunately they aren't shipping beyond the US, so I'll have to locate something similar on that side of the pond...

I bought some of these cables:

They work fine for my full-speed mini-B application.

A cable would be better i think, to avoid killing the usb socket in the N800.

hostman: have you tried this cable with an usb hub with a mini usb socket? I know a shop here in Hungary where I could buy a cable like this (very expensive :( ) but I would only buy it if it worked with a hub. So: N800 - cable - hub - usb device.

I bought the Amazon csble and removed most of the metal shielding (top and sides). Works like a charm!

Why did you remove them?

I have not tried that specific cable with a hub (I don't have any hubs with a mini-B downstream connector). I have, however, used a similar cable (mini-B to A-female to standard USB cable) to connect to hubs, etc. You can make either of these pretty easily; just cut up a couple of cables with the ends you want, and solder the colored wires together.

I have a 5p mini usb cable and I found only 4 cables + shield. As I understood I need 5 cables to make a proper OTG adaptor.

I would be VERY VERY interested if someone managed to get VGA output working via USB. Please post if you do!

I can see a "docking station" for my N800 already; keyboard, HD, 100TX ethernet connector and VGA monitor connected through a powered USB hub... oooh, ahh...

PS: I got a keyboard working for the price of a female-female USB-A gender changer from Radio Shack (or The Source as they are called now in Canada).
