Host mode surely? Peripheral mode is the mode that lets the N800 look like a mass storage device. If the adapter is OTG though, it should auto detect the mode when plugged in. If the adapter is a straight reversal (male to female) with no OTG wiring, you would need to manually change the direction. The USB Control panel mentioned is the simplest way (but requires Python installed), but if you have root access you can do the switch on the command line. I personally do it this way because otherwise my USB keyboard is wrongly mapped (I wrote a script that also remaps the keyboard to the UK English mapping.) Whether your device works is all down to power consumption and drivers from there on. I've never had too many issues from Mass storage devices and keyboards, but other devices have not worked (mice, ethernet, wifi etc..) so YMMV (this might have been power related, so a powered hub might sort a lot of these issues out.)
