It really seems to be about the power. I have tried using the AC adapter that came with it i.e. 5V@2A so the should be plenty of power. I also used an external battery pack/cell phone charger that I use to recharge the N800. Nothing seems to work. I'm sure glad you have patience 
though I'm almost ready to give up. The one thing I haven't tried (I'll do it tonight) is to try every thing with an external 3.5" USB drive. I think everyone says that works (directly and through the hub)

Definitely considering trying THIS out. I can't see dimensions of the unit anywhere...but it's a 4-port Battery Powered USB Hub. That's awesome. If anyone checks this out, be sure to post your reviews for us!!

I am using 2008HE and used the linux flasher application to set --enable-rd-mode and --enable-usb-host-mode. I have tested with multiple USB card readers and cards, and they work perfectly, mounting /dev/sda or /dev/sda1. I hope to get external wifi adapters to work, but currently there is no rt73 drivers for the 770 kernel. I haven't yet tried an external hard-drive, but will later. The F-F adapter is also from dealextreme: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2646 Here is an annotated pic of my setup:
The AA-battery powered device I bought from poundland (UK shop), so it's not branded. I think it is meant to charge phones and devices "on-the-go" as it came with multiple adapters including the USB one shown. I think they have similar devices on dealextreme. Pic here:
Like this palmsize HD, I have been trying for months before I pull this off, power on the tablet with the HD attached.

I thought I had posted this this morning but I don't see it. I it is duplicated somewhere else let me know and I will erase it.
As Jethro suggested above and the other thread, I took several passes of dmesg with and without the HD on (and not working) and my flash USB. I redirected it to 3 files that are in my root directory but I can't get them out. I'm using putty - is the a "file " command to send them to my PC. I tried sending them to my flah drive using:
cp /root/*.txt /media/usb/sda1/*.txt I can see them on the drive so they seem to get copied but I can't see them with my PC (I can't seem to unmount them - maybe the files aren't being closed??? I'll keep trying if someone thinks it's important to solve my problem and then I can post them so they can read them. The easiest would be if I can get a command to send them over putty (ssh)
TIA

that doesn't look like a proper command...
cp /root/*.txt /media/usb/sda1 I think is what you want.. you don't want *.txt at the end of the second parameter.. it would cause for unexpected results methinks... and yes.. I swear I read someone else say this same thing recently..
Aha...

I got the files to go to the flash disk (twice) and I think I did it earlier, but I can't unmount the drive - no unmount command and the usb symbol has a disconnect but it only flashes. I shut the power off (I think that should unmount cleanly then) and when I look with my laptop they aren't there - I think because they didn't get closed properly. They were on the flash drive since I could look at them with putty(ssh) and the local file manager. Is there a way to transfer the 3 files with putty or the installed go to root mode so I can see the files in /root. I could do that with another file manager I had but I haven't installed it yet on Diablo.
Cheers

putty has pscp.. a different exe downloadable at their site which allows you to SCP files over..
pscp root@tablet:/root/*.txt ./
is what you would do in a dos prompt... you can't umount if the device is busy.. which means that all terminals must not even be cd'd into the /media/usb directory or it will return device is busy.
Other than that I dunno.

I got them from the N800 through pscp - thanks fs. Slowly getting there - 1 babystep at a time...
The dmesg names should be relatively obvious what I was doing.
1. no USB
2. 20 GG HD through the 4 port hub
3. USB flash
So if someone wants to take a look and see if there is something interesting, I would appreciate it.
TIA
