Zeno USB Host Drivers

Has anyone ever tried this on our devices?

If so please post what happened, whether successful or not..

According to what I've read all that is needed is a Processor that is compatible with USB-Host features (which the OMAP850 is apparently capable of) and an injected power supply if your battery cannot supply 5v (as our batteries only output 3.7v)

I'd test it myself but I dont have a means of injecting 5v yet.. apparently one may use a "Y" cable that some external 2.5" drives are supplied with

Well i have seen this just not found the time to play with it looks very interesting but while i was searching for a cable i found this article on how to make your own ;)

Looks interesting.. I need some free time to go out and buy some usb's and build.. but I had a "Y" cable and a 220v to USB adaptor that I planned to use, which should do the trick.. I've found the adaptor, just cant find the cable..

Any way good luck with the build.. Let us know if it works :D

And please be careful Wapvirus :).. You're very brave to try this when you've just got your new device ;) TEST Volts and Amps thoroughly before testing on device :D

I did try this but nothing happened. i might be doing something wrong but for now i must say that this does not work. (wm6.5 and y cable from usb hdd)

Thanx for your response.. so what did you use to test? the hard drive? tried other devices like flash drive, mouse, card reader, etc?
