This is the flash cable converted to data cable:
Unlike the DRS-10/11 this cable doesn't allow you to plug in the charger. I was wondering if it is safe to graft a 5VDC source into pins 10 and 11? This way charging can happen.
Maybe the 5VDC souce can be the USB port? What do you think?

BTW, I've already grafted a 5V souce into the above plug. I'm using it right now.

chorb, the USB port allows devices to draw power directly from the port.
I have a USB phone charger, but I haven't seen a USB data cable for my phone yet. Where were you able to buy it?

No idea how to implement a USB cable....
BTW my 5VDC souce is the charger. I just spliced that plug into the cable. As a bonus my Ericsson charger can now charge even Nokias
