You can also attach an USB card reader to the USB hub. Apparantly a USB card reader is treated as an ext. HD. I cannot make it work without a powered hub.

Stick in a SD card into the card reader 1st, then turn on the host mode, and then insert the card reader. it will then read the card. It reads/write SDHC fine, I tried a 16G SDHC and read/write fine. Again, if you just stuck the cardreader into the USB without a powered usb hub, it will not work. It writes fine with a large file, I tried a 1 G file, but it chokes when writing many small files, e.g. 160 50 kB files, it crashed the tablet and the tablet rebooted (almost wet my pants, that is my dear 16 G SDHC card)

Now, here is another tips. It takes the cardreader like an extHD, so you cannot swap cards in and out like in the MSWindow system, it does not do hot swap nor refresh. To swap cards in a cardreader, you have to discontinue the USB host mode and change card and trigger the host mode again.
