| Good point. Are you aware of any cable that does bring out this pin?

The three or four that I have hacked about over the years all had only
four wires + shield.

I guess a mini USB <-> mini USB cable if it existed would at least have
somewhere to connect the ID pin through to, but I never saw one.

Yes,

seems to be a 5-pin plug.

I pulled apart a moulded one, one of our kit ones I think, they are not
hackable at all.
