Ummm wait....Lemme get this staright.
The nokia n8 will have USB OTG but the top-of-the-line mobile computer nokia n900 does not have this feature?
Way to go Nokia, again! I love nokia a lot! android phones like motorola droid have this feature, but noone beats the n900 on the n900 forums.

To me it seems that any solution reliable in what does / doesn't work that uses cheap & commercially available products is good enough (no hardware hacking allowed.) To me it seems that the minimum requirement is that one device works reliably. Every device working reliably doesn't seem like a requirement, but the testing of each device should be documented. For example if USB 1.1 devices don't work then avoid USB 1.1 devices.
Any love for meego yet? It is much newer.

I know that driving power has been an issue that we've discussed, but what if the HDD doesn't need power from USB? Would that be a situation worth considering?

After discussing this with joerg_rw, I've decided to release binaries, these will have the same patches we got months ago, the release will be a pre-alpha, reproducing the steps will be hard, and you might not all get the same result.
The reason we're releasing it is to see if it works for others, and it might be a good move to let other devs gain interest in the project.
Will release the binaries this week, I have to reproduce what I got two months ago, which will be hard since I lost /root/* which had all scripts.
