Joh Bigboote, great name by the way! Wonderful film. You try to explain it to people and they think you're mad

I built my little USB host box tonight. Way over engineered and complicated but fun to make. I'll put some pics up on my site soon. I don't have my USB keyboard yet to test it (and I need to charge the batteries). Can someone please explain the mounting a USB device that Bhima mentioned earlier. I am a Linux newbie so I only have a vague understanding of how that works and how I use it. I basically got as far as enabling host mode via x terminal with root access. When I plugged in my little box it would detect the USB cable was connected but then I didn't try anything with it since the batteries were uncharged. I do have a USB thumb drive and a USB card reader. How can I use them to test if everything is working?

Thanks!

Simon
