So, I know the USB port is a mini and it's unpowered. But...
Assuming there's a USB mini to full USB adapter, is there any reason
you couldn't connect the Neo to a USB hard drive? Most (all) of the
USB hard drives I've seen had a external power supply.
This is exactly the issue I suggested a wiki page for just a bit ago;

As said, I'd _guess_ it'd probably work, but since it's non-standard,
there's valid leeway for it not to, so we'd likely need to document
devices that are (un)co-operative directly with the powerless Neo host.
As one datapoint, the Belkin Tetrahub I have will not recognise a
powerless (VCC=0V) host.
It will stay connected to a host that has VCC fall to 0V.
(I have a Cardbus USB adaptor, that needs a USB fly-lead for power)
