I need something of a much more reasonable size, that will just give me the standard USB Type A Female connector that is pretty much the universal host port. Then, whatever device I need to plug into it can just use its own connector or cable. I recommend making your own adapter cable by splicing together two spares like I did. It works like a charm, puts less stress on the port than a molded adapter would, and takes up a whole lot lest space than even a regular cable. It also didn't cost me a cent. Next on my agenda: modifying this adapter or making a new one that will allow me to inject pwer from a battery pack or USB power adapter or port so I can run things like thumb drives without having to attach a powered hub. Or maybe just modifying a minty boost so I can plug it in inline with my existing cable as is with no other adapters or connectors necessary. Done right, it could power either the external USB device or the Tablet as needed. Mark ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: USB adapter keyboard
BTW, any micro-A to female A adapter, without cable so easy to carry around, on the market yet? That's something my N810 is still missing compared to my N800. Thanks in advance, Laurent ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Thanks in advance, Laurent My preference was to find something like you describe - either a micro-A to A-female adapter block or short cable. But the only micro-A-anything I could find was the cable I bought. This surprised me, given that the micro-A, by definition, puts the device in to host mode. What good is an A-male on the other end of a cable attached to a host, unless you have an also-USB-illegal A-female to A-female adapter? -- Scott ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Two hypothesis: - there is no market yet for OTG/micro USB so no adapter vendor - there is a market but someone has patents on micro USB connector Anyone with more information?
