Root Stick mount with otg cable?

[Modman]

Is it possible to use stick mount to directly connect nook to external usb hd with otg cable?

Don't know and don't have a NC here to try it.

On the HP Touchpad, you had to have a powered hub (to power the stick) + the otg cable.

Do you have the parts or only going to buy if it works?

Only if it works unpowered cause I ordered an OTG Cable for my nexus 7.

I think I paid $7 for a powered hub.

My take on OTG... if you can't just plug the device in and have it work, it's not worth it. I'm not interested in building a Rube Goldberg device to get it to work.

Is power needed for all devices or just things like a hard drive?

Can I connect a thumb drive directly, or will it need power?
