I am attempting to create a power cable for the USB port to power an older ADB
supplied power device. I am looking at the severed end of my USB cable and I
see one red and one black "thick" wires, one white and one green "thin" wire
and one uninsulated wire. Now, like ADB, I know that there is a + and a - wire
for power and two data wires. Does anyone know which are which? Are the thicker
insulated wires the power wires or data? Then, which color is +? Finally, is
the uninsulated wire simply a strengthening cable or is it the ground wire (or
part of the grounding wiring)? Thanks for any input on this off topic subject.
