Toshiba e830 USB host cable

[saif]

Is there any way this cable can be made at home? I dont have any option to buy it online and its not available where i live.

I bought the hardware addon that plugs on the bottom. It was made for the e80x and passes through power, usb, and vga. The vga doesn't work on the e830 but the power and usb work fine. I use the usb often to connect my pocket pc to my psp, mp3 player (40GB external hard drive for the e830) and usb flash memory. The catch is you need a driver to support usb drives. I found one on brighthand a long time ago and it works great. The posting made it sound cludgy but I can even stream video off the 40GB mp3 player and playing it on my pocket pc!!!

I do wish the vga worked but the intel graphics subsystem in the e830 doesn't support video out like the ati subsystem in the e800 or the high end intel video subsystem in the dell x50v/51v.
