Yes, this together with the orignal n800 cable should work. Then you have to switch to Hostmode manually.

If you want to switch automaticly to Host, you have to connect pin 4 and 5.
You can modify your cable, or modify the usb-port in the n800 (e.g. http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...&postcount=118)

here is the end of the cable shown:

In particular the L16BT - USB A(F)-5pin(M) Adp

They have a number of gender changers there.

Your thoughts please

The Problem is, that you just don't know if port 4 and 5 are connectet to each other. I haven't seen any description where it's mentioned. And if it would be one, they would call this adapter OTG adapter.


This is what we need:


I only can find seperate female connectors but no male.It would be nice if someone finds male connectors somewhere to buy. Then we could make Adapters on our own that would 100% work.
