Hey Guys,
is there really any reason to be fidgeting with USB host mode? After all, I would hate to have wires coming out of my n800 while i was walking around. I was thinking of getting one of those nice bluetooth hard drives. Stick it in my pocket and go. What otehr device would you want to add to the n800?
Don't get me wrong though;hacking for hacking's sake is great fun and more educational than most other forms of entertainment

For example you can use OTG support to add a usb mass storage device to your N800, usb keyboards, Sensors or even a wifi usb stick with a better chipset.
The possibilities are countless and this whole nifty thing is still in an early state.

I think I found another possible cable: https://serialio.com//store/product_...2de18220188139
This one looks about the length I want too (it's short)

FYI, if anyone cares.
I tried a USB docking station w/external power. The USB hub worked fine with USB mass storage. The PS2 mouse and keyboard did not. Neither did the USB keyboard through the PS2 connector.

So is there a 100% working OTG adaptor with a short cable (like the USB-A adaptor that Amazon has)?

Maybe look into the very old threads. I believe there was a fix for this on the 770 in the early days when everybody was hacking around with USB host...
