Ok. On OS2008 I did the following. 1. Got a femail to femail connector so I can attach keyboard cable to the IT USB cable. 2. ran this command in a term window (where # is teh command prompt) as root. # echo "host" > /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode 3. plugged in the keyboard. 4. Ignored complaints about unsupported device and began to type and giggle like a madman *grin*. NOTE: I'm in R&D mode not sure if this works outside of this mode yet. James PS. I also connected a pen drive... It claimed the device was ussuported then ... it opened the file manager mounted the device and showed me the files!!!!
