Well that will still not ground the ID pin, also it should be A to mini-B converter... Which is probably not available. Non-standard A to A converter can be used to connect two standard mini-B to A cables together, but still the ID pin is not grounded and you have to set it via software. > On a side note I followed the HowTo EASILY Boot From MMC card > and I now have "boot from usb disk" should that work with the same patch?
