i was looking at a thread on here about puting a pci e 3g 4g modem in the acer but it was said it cant be dont because some of the componets are missing.

There is no SATA controller on the A500, AFAIK the only way to do it would be through a SATA to USB adapter which would defeat the purpose. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Cool thanks for the quick reply.
I will just figure out how to add my 120 gig USB drive internal.

Roebeet at slatedroid has a step by step for using the Xoom usb port for host mode: http://www.slatedroid.com/index.php...le-usb-host-mode-ie-thumb-drives-on-the-xoom/
and it is on days like today that I love my Xoom that much more. By the time the devs are done designing things for this tablet, it is going to be a whole new experience. I feel sorry for people that returned theirs after not even giving it real time to grow.
so this enables host mode, but can you switch back and forth between host and client?
I guess his new boot.img that enables the USB host will be a moot point with regard to the new update coming from Moto tonight. This sucks.
an update is coming?

Regardless of the update, we will still be able to run this great mod. There has been little work done on the kernel as seen on aosp. so all the kernels floating around will still work just fine. In fact, the only kernel work committed from upstream has primarily been bcm4329 work for the wifi only models.
Will this allow me to plug in my external hard drive?

Yes, if your drive is AC powered. And u get the cable. I will release this in my next kernel release with due credits given in my OP.
how hard would it be
To have the OC and USB host lines in the boot/root img?
I would love to have this and OC at the same time!

how about portable external HD's that draw power through the usb cable. theese will also be supported too, correct?
The actual change is very minor from stock - a few extra lines in the init.rc and then the /etc/vold.fstab change.

Going on my GTAB experience, it should work. But, there might be a size restriction -- 128GB, I believe (?) and of course FAT32. Again, going on memory here from the GTAB forums.
My external HDD's are all EXT3/4 so I usually don't test them against an OTG cable.

FAT32!!!! who uses that anymore?!?!
Anyone got a good link for the right cables. The last one I bought to add storage to my jailbroke apple tv failed miserably.

Yeah I think this might be needed, since it seems that the boot.img for USB host conflicts with the boot.img for OC, rendering your tablet wifi-less. Hope we can get a workaround for this

(gets on soapbox)
Most of the vendors, unfortunately, because they can't hammer out a long-term solution they all can agree on. FAT32 is still used on flash-based devices because of this problem. And it is a problem.
MS, in its infinite wisdom, created exFAT to replace FAT32. But of course its proprietary and has to be licensed. Why couldn't they just open source it and allow it to used for free? That would be too easy, so they can't do that. NTFS is also proprietary, so getting OS's like Android and iOS requires reverse engineering. And HFS+ is, again, proprietary.
What would be best for consumers is that all the major vendors agree on an open-source standard (like EXT4?), and create drivers for their various OS's to support that standard. Then, we could migrate all new devices to that new standard and be done with this problem. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
(gets off soapbox)
Non zoom owner here, potiential in the future. I guess this mean flash drives not camera and phone etc or is it all the same? Wont different drivers b required?

Sold out and all the other ones on ebay will take weeks to arrive.
Anyone find a US site that we can buy one of these cables on?
Did anyone have the problem with WiFi breaking after flashing the boot.img? The only way I could get WiFi back was to boot a previous image.

So I can't seem to find the answer can you hook up Xbox controllers and stuff to the tablet itself without the dock?

you can use this USB3.0 AF/AF Adapter
Has anybody tried this yet and confirm its working? Maybe even with USB2 harddrives?
Cheers
I can confirm that the dock recognises my old 80Gb WD passport USB2 drive - I have it partitioned as well into FAT and EXT3 as well and recognises both.

I too am looking for the answer to this before I start looking for one on ebay or monoprice.
same here... Ordered my tablet already but not getting the dock and want to know what works for my 500gig wd self powered usb hd.
Hi everybody.
I haven't got a Nexus 7, but I'm seriously thinking on getting one.
As I live outside the US, but a friend of mine is traveling there next month, I'm making my plans on what I'm going to ask him to buy for me.
I have read about USB OTG support on rooted Nexus 7, and plan to use it for expanding storage.
So, the question that brings me here is, which speed does the Nexus 7's micro usb support?, does it make sense to invest in a usb 3.0 drive, or I won't get passed USB 2.0 speed?
Not really sure if all this usb 2.0 or 3.0 applies to micro usb, so please forgive me if I'm asking something dumb.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Barba
Stick with a 2.0 drive if that's your main intention for it

I was wondering about this as well. Will the read/write speeds be faster on a USB 3.0 flash stick?

Any update on this?
I tried an enclosure with 3.0 and was not readable through the USB OTG. I ended up buying a 2.0 enclosure intead.
I have a seagate drive that I can't seem to get to work on the usb port. Are there any apps I need to make it compatible?
As far as I know the nexus 4 does not support "usb on the go".

Well crap. Any planned fix?
What do you all think of the below items I'm getting.
iMito MX1 MiniPC
RC12 Air Mouse/Keyboard
Logitech C310 webcam
Belkin USB 2.0 4-Port Ultra-Mini Hub
Anyone suggest other accessories?
You may want to consider a USB Ethernet adapter unless you are pretty sure you will have an optimal WiFi signal.
Something like this would be a great USB Stick accessory:
3 port USB hub and 10/100 ethernet

(I know I keep linking to dx.com, but I am not a plant. I have no relation with DX, except that I have ordered from them in the past.)
I have the mx2. Will the hubs work to add more devices to this? I'd like to run a HDD as well as the rc12 remote from the same USB port. For some reason my mini USB port is very delicate and I have to wiggle the wire for the mx2 to.pick it up

Thanks for the recommendation, but I will have the MX2 within 3 feet of the router. However I may need something like this when I move to a new place.

I'm assuming it will. My Transformer prime detects multiple devices through an unpowered USB hub.

Whats the main different between the iMoto vs. the MK series. and for the usb hub/splitter, is there any specific brand I should be aware of? Or will they all work regardless? I am asking because my nearby dollarstore have spliiter for like $2, and dx selling for $11.90

I was too confused with all the versions of the MK that I just went with the iMito.

I just used a usb hub I had lying around. When I get home I check out the model name. I'm buying an extra USB hub for my iMito form a different manufacturer and I'm just assuming that it will work.
