I recently purchased a USB Pocket Hard Drive. As the device needs to utilise the full 500 mA that the USB port can supply it has a two A connectors, the second of which is to provide power only (ie. data is only transmitted through one connection).
Most computers that I use only have one available USB port or have a small B type connector sitting on the desk for use.
I am worried that I may lose data by not having the second (power only) plug.
I would like to build a battery pack that I can connect into the USB cable to compensate for the lack of a second plug.
Does anyone have any ideas about the construction of this battery pack?
If you would like me to attach some photos, or if my question does not make sence, please post a reply.
Thankyou
