Download maemo-control-usb:

Search for it exactly like it is spelled in the download page of this site.

It is better to save it to the device, then open it in the file manager.

Then, download usb-otg-plugin:

Just click on the file in the pink highlighted area.

Once you have installed everything you will notice a usb symbol at the top of the device. Plug your drive in and then click on the symbol. In the drop down menu, click USB UTG host mode. It will say that the drive is not recognized, but just ignore it. If you go to file manager, you will find your drive in all its glory. Exciting, huh. Good luck.

hey, thanks so much for that, works like a dream.
I used to have it working on chinook via the old messy way of swapping files about via emelFM2 etc but couldn't get it to work under diablo.

this is simple and elegant too. nice one, cheers!
