I can confirm that the following OTG cable works without any mods on the N900:

This particular bidding had ended, but I'm sure the item has been reposted (multiple times) already.
Funny fact is that the cable, despite being advertised so, shouldn't work on the N8, as the N8 got a square USB connector AFAIK.

So, here are my results using USB Host Mode beta release so far.
Sandisk Cruzer Blade 4Gb flash stick worked perfectly via high speed mode. I was able to watch videos from it using the Media Player, and copy files to the 32Gb internal storage as well as the 8Gb MicroSD card I have, and back to the flash drive again. no playback issues at all, and no write protect issues.
250Gb external powered HDD did not work, however this HDD only works intermittently anyway. Nothing to do with H-E-N IMO.
500Gb external passport HDD, which is supplied with a dual USB cable (second plug provides additional power). This did not work. We powered the second plug via a USB power supply, but no luck. I forgot to check the kernel messages.
HTC Desire worked, and started charging! It read the 32Gb MicroSD inserted, and successfully played some music with no issues (although Media Player tried to retrieve all the "new" media's information).

Nokia N97 did not work. I expected it to come up with the mass storage selection, but nothing happened across all speeds. Afgter I closed H-E-N, it said the device had no file system. Attached is the kernel output.

Thank you for the beautilful news and the good work. Now my usb mass storage works on my n900. I tested a serial converter and the device ttyUSB0 is maked.
I'm testing a hid usb periferical, it's a RFID programmer. The linux client use the library libusb, when open the device all works without problem but when try to write with usb_bulk_write I have a timeout error code -110.
I recompiled the kernel power with HIDRAW and HIDDEV enabled but the client don't work, I have always the error -110. I tried to modify the client increase the timeout on usb_bulk_write but without success.
Have you suggestions? Some kernel modules is missing?
Here the source of linux client.
Thank you for the help.

This means plugs that fit to N900 also fit to N8, but not all plugs that fit to N8 also fit to N900.
If it works for N8, this seems to indicate it has a grounded ID pin, which is a good thing and really rare for micro-B plugs though. Usually only micro-A-plugs have ID pin grounded - it's the definition of an A-plug and meant to switch the OTG device into host role.
Nice find :-)
