Yes, that is one of my pics. But you don't need any more stuff than what is on it : below the 770 on the left is a USB hub. Just plug a USB hard drive in there, mount it, and you're done. Guess it would work with a USB CD-RW too, though I can't imagine what for :-)

i come up with new idea i hope it's not wroted here before.
Well when we use n770 USB in host mode we can let n770 to use the usual USB devices , i know that Harddisk is not USB device but why not!
take a look at this picture from site gallery, one of internettablettalk members connected his USB Keyboard using USB Host mode
just wait... ,
what if we unpluged the keyboard then we buy this small kit
then 1st terminal to HardDist and 2nd terminal to the USB Host ???
not just hard disk , but what ever IDE is can be connected ATA or SATA
i didn't tried it but someone can do this IDE to USB cable is for $12 only
some one please try this and we are waiting for news ..
nokia 770 with 120 GB not only 1GB
Oh i think hard disk must be in Linux partition system or we've to mount Fat Partitions every boot and shutdown.
if this will not work , then i'm sorry it's just Idea and i hope it will work.
There are three general issues here:
1) Size: do you really need 120 GB with a 770? 4 GB would give you pretty much all you need I would imagine although I'll be the first to admit that when I got my first hard drive (10 MB), I thought it would be all I would ever need.
2) Mobility: too many cables, boxes, etc. defeat the purpose of the 770. Although in a docking mode that would not be a big issue.
3) Power: this goes with (2). Of course, in docking who cares.

and yes, 120 is very much for 770 also power cables this not give the 770 it's mobility..
thanks Odin for info about the research , but also currying keyboard and mouse
is not good too. but all this invent will give a wide range of invention & more ideas to n770
like connecting USB webcam , connect your mobile to u'r n770 through USB to add ringtons and such things....etc.
