Micro USB for A100?

[sjdomin2]

Does anyone know where I can find a micro USB cable for the A100? Evidently there are at least 3 sizes of micro plugs around but none of the ones I have fit the A100 or match the cable that was supplied in the A100 box. I don't know what model number or code size to look for and people in the stores don't seem to be willing to let me open a package to see if the cable inside will actually fir the A100.
Would appreciate any info.
Thanks

I use a small retractable USB cable kit i picked up at Wal-Mart. If i recall is was $14. It comes with a selection of end pieces to use and works well with my A100 and A501. It is model number CPUSB3RTKIT. I am sure you could find it on their website.

Thanks, I'm an A100 owner too and I'm going to have to check that one out too considering Walmart has it in-stock. Hopefully it helps.

Most welcome that's what we are here for, helping one another.

The A500 has 2 USB ports: one micro, one full size. And it supports master and slave modes.
The A100 has only one micro USB port. It must support slave mode - plug it into a computer and it appears as a USB storage device slave controlled by the PC. But does the A100 support master mode?
That is, can you plug in a keyboard or external storage device to the A100's micro USB, and use or control it from the A100? You would need a USB micro adapter, but does this work?

The USB port does not support master mode. You can use a Bluetooth keyboard though.
