(fast answer, I'm doing barbecue here, anyone served? :D)
Can you point me to pictures of such cables? I see
phone adapters at
the thrift stores every time I go, and I don't mind hacking a $1 cable
(which is what they are here, too) to save $20. I just don't know
exactly what I'm looking for. "the fun port connector" doesn't mean
much to me - I've never owned a Nokia phone (in fact, I've only owned
two cell phones in 10 years, so I'm _not_ the right person for knowing
different vendors' quirks).
Since this info may interest other people, I'll do a small page with
photos, drivers, etc and put it online, hope to do it this night, hold on.
These data cables have an FTDI chip in them, but what
identifier do
they send to the host? I do some USB development (for LCD screens)
and have run across a number of questions raised about serial drivers
and chips not matching up and having to reset the identifiers and such
(or hack the driver to look for the "right" thing).
Usually they use the prolific chipset, I'll send more detailed info
later today
