After seeing the pictures of the Neo connected to a battery powered<br>
hub, I looked around the internet to see if there were any that could<br>
hold more batteries, but couldn't find any. Then I thought that it<br>
would be nice to have a battery powering the hub and fast charging the<br>
Neo at the same time, but such a thing does not seem to exist. So I<br>
took the circuit at <a href="http://www.elecfree.com/electronic/ipod-mp3-player-charger-by-mc34063/" target="_blank">http://www.elecfree.com/electronic/ipod-mp3-player-<br>
charger-by-mc34063/</a> and doubled it up to provide power for the hub and<br>
the Neo. The preliminary results can be seen at<br>

<br>
The hard drive and the USB ethernet card were working, but I am busy<br>
updating my machine so I can build a kernel with support for the<br>
wireless card.<br>
I also need to thank whoever designed the USB port on the Neo, because<br>
I wired the cable the wrong way around when I first connected it and<br>
the phone was still working afterwards.<br>
