No, not without modifying the cable. Everything is connected to different connector pins on the XDA, relative to the iPaq. The connectors page on this site has all the details.

no, you have to modify it

As always the XDA-developers solution works.

I have changed an IPAQ cable according to information on the prementioned page and it works flawless.

Just make sure you:
- have a fine tipped soldering iron
- a steady hand
- patience

Use an ohmmeter (or just a battery and a light) and two VERY finetipped 'probes' (I used two needles :lol: ) and check every pin on the connector against the two pins on each side to see if they have a connection or not. It's a simple but effective way to prevent damage to your XDA just because you overlooked a connection.
