Archos Gen5 have USB host capability, but no way for me to pay 30 extra bucks to get it, and it’s still an extra accesory to carry along (Mac-like….).

So, I just follow this cable extension schematic, and solder inside 4 cable for the usb, and a 220kohms resistor. Then nicely dremeled and glued.

Somehow, manuel’s writer, vendor material’s author, think the best way to discribe their product is to lock documentation and information in a vault, protected by a user registration, and to only let them read it, no printing, coping and pasting (I’m developing solution involving writing 32bits registers, I don’t feel like typing all thoses down).
To bad, that’s not the way I conceive it: so lets unlock a PDF, and on-line though: here

Just upload, and download the new cracked/unlocked, freed PDF.
