Default anyone found sync/power serial cable for ipaq 3800??

I'm at work, I can only use my serial connection since USB isn't supported on NT. So, I have an idea to not have to use my cradle because of the fact that I've got my Silver Slider sleeve attached and with the sleeve attached, I can't seat my Ipaq 3835 into my cradle, not completely enough to sync. So, I know I can find a sync/power cable for USB but not one for Serial.

Anyone seen one, or where i can get one?

TIA,

Sanjay

The problem is the serial port doesn't output electrical power so they can't make a serial cable that will charges. There are serial sync cables but there can't be a serial one that charges.

Default Then what are my options

so, fine the serial cable can't supply power, but then what are my options, work uses NT, NT does not support USB, I need to be able to sync and power my ppc while connected to the Expansion pack.

besides buying a new expansion pack/battery combo, which i can't charge either, since it's still the USB/Serial issue, what are my options?

Any advice would be welcome.
