I've heard that the External USB Adapter from ASUS is a notoriously difficult beast to locate. It's marketed to plug into a bare tablet and provide a Host USB connector. But, would it also work in the charging port of the keyboard dock giving a second Host USB port? (Yes, I know a hub would do this. But If one wants this device to connect USB storage to a bare tablet, would it also do double duty and work with the dock?)

It certainly sounds possible. Mostly because I think the internals of the keyboard dock are a hub already basically.

One usb going to the card reader, one going to the usb port, one to the keyboard function, and another as a passthrough to the proprietary data port.

So by using the usb adapter you are just converting the otherwise unused data port into another usb port.
