Ah, i see a Y-adapter: one end usb-device, one end receptable for usb charger,
one end GTA02 *with ID-R of e.g 82k* PLUS *2 x 15k pulldown*.
And GTA02 automatically switching to external powered host mode. :-)
This was on the list of accessories from the beginning, wasn't it? ;-)
humm, on 2nd thought, nothing bad will happen when this mode will check for
47k instead of 82k.
What's about this?
