I suspected as much, else someone would have suggested it in response to my earlier enquiry. Seems strange to me. I've done just this with a similar connector with a Samsung, and I just cannot understand why manufacturers would produce a device lacking such an obvious facility, when it clearly could be done. Anyway, ours not to reason why; ours just to go off and buy a rival tablet instead. Pity. Thank you very much for the prompt and clear response. David W
