Sydney / Diy Usb Host Cable, Cost Aud5.0

« on: August 30, 2005, 01:12:42 pm »

To whom want to DIY a USB host cable for C3xxx/C1xxx

1st of all, thks. great for the writer to publish the techniques about DIY USB host cable. Pls. find URL in Chinese

http://forum.palmislife.com/viewthread.php?tid=39702&fpage=1

I tried to translate procedures as below:

1. Buy a USB cable, one side is female MiniB (5pin) & other side is female normal (4pin)

2. cut out the connector of MiniB, then use solder paste to get short circuited between pin 4 & 5
(be careful and secure short circuited only between pin 4 & 5)

That's it, think u would carefully see the picture and follow procedures that u can DIY in success

#!/bin/sh
 
 case $ACTION in
 add)
    RETRY=15
    /bin/mount /mnt/md
    while test "$RETRY" -gt 0 -a "$?" -gt 0
    do   sleep 1      
       RETRY=`expr $RETRY - 1`
       /bin/mount /mnt/md
    done
    ;;
 remove)
    /bin/umount /mnt/md
