Coonecting a keyboard...
I read the users manual (available on-line) and they clearly state that the USB port only has support for USB flash drives.
2.3 Connecting USB Devices
With the USB 2.0 host port, you can connect USB flash drives to your
Tablet to access external files. The Tablet supports drives up to 64GB in
size. Please note that some older USB 1.1 devices may have
compatibility issues.
The Tablet supports flash memory drives only; it does not support other
mechanical drives
The other way to connect a keyboard is via bluetooth. Again, the A7+ supports limited Bluetooth connectivity:
Bluetooth Device Requirements
The A7+ Tablet officially supports only A2DP Bluetooth devices with
stereo audio capability. Mono devices such as cell phone speakers and
earpieces are not compatible.
Important Note: The A7+ does have limited Bluetooth compatibility with
certain Mac computers and other assorted peripheral devices, but it does
not support printers, scanners, bar code readers or most other peripheral
devices even though the Tablet will detect and “pair” with such devices.
The necessary “connection” can only be made with proper drivers. Until
hardware manufacturers of these devices create the necessary drivers to
support both Android and the Tegra
This information is from the latest version of the owners manual dated March 2012. I'm afraid that you're out of luck unless you upgrade the operating system.
