Yeah cool ;)
This should be documented properly somewhere, i.e. which hardware
limitation there are, how to solve them and which software how to
install and which switch to toggle.

Do I get this right that if one modifies an active (self powered) USB
HUB so that the +5V VBUS is not connected to the 770 and a transgendered
cable between the 770 and the USB HUB the 770 will then, host mode
enabled, see the HUB and attached devices?

For developer indeed a cool thing! That would mean full Debian install
on a harddrive ;)
