Its definitely the cable. People just assume a MiniUSB cable is a MiniUSB
cable. WRONG. As previously mentioned, there are (thus far) two types.
Sync/Connect and Sync/Connect/Charge. Don't ask me for the pin-outs
but its slightly different as I confirmed a while back. The issue of not being
able to use the reader why USB charging is a bit odd. While I understand
that if a file is loaded in read mode and then sync'd, there could be corruption
to the data. But all sony had to do was lock the file in use and allow all others
to be viewed if opened in explorer. Perhaps the next ROM image will address
this, as I too would like the option to use the reader while charging.
