Well,
You can count me as one of the ones that tried it.
My initial try was to get the thing to be recognized by the BIOS, so I wouldn't have trouble loading up my WIN 7 drive.
Unfortunately my HP Elitedesk 800 G2 mini only has USB 3. I do have ways around it (i.e. script), but wanted to try.
I got the idea because I saw a video showing a 2.5 Gb LAN adapter could be there.
Thanks for the answer.
