50G USB cable similarity Message #1 Posted by designnut on 7 May 2008, 3:05 p.m. I left the cable for my 50G attacched to the computer and it suddenly went missing when my niece went on vacation. On her return I asked where it had gone. It turns out she has a keychain that holds photos and charges from the USB port that exactly matches that cable and thought it was hers and took it. I thought it odd they matched exactly. Sam

It's just a plain vanilla USB cable. I connect my Nikon with it, a variety of mp3 players, a navigation PDA and lots of other stuff... Edited: 7 May 2008, 3:25 p.m.
