Archos 405 Gen 5: hack and add UBS host female connector

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.
