I would like to report another working one
The biggest problem was to get that thing out of motherboard.

Ele-Mental, thanks for the idea!

@Magik: Yeah i thought that a flame would melt more evenly than a soldering iron, thus allowing me to pull out all the pins at once. How did you loosen yours?

I did this when h-e-n was first released and I was still waiting for my female-female adaptor in the mail.

You wont believe how rare those F2F adapters are here. I looked everywhere. Ive never even seen one here. But h-e-n is too good a feature to turn down. Was getting sick of my GF bragging with flash drives and N8.

First I wanted to do it with a candle, but that pissed me off too much so I've borrowed Hot Air from my friend.

Here the adapter in action:

Cool hack, kudos Ele-Mental!

But instead of a (usually long) cable + a lezzie adapter, I like a short one-piece cable; the ones sold on ebay as n810 host cables work fine.
