Here's what I did to convert a mini-A to mini-B cable: I chopped off the
top part of the mini-A end connector aluminum shielding using side cutter
pliers and a hand file so the mini-A fits into the mini-B socket on N800.

The mini-A connector has the ID pin grounded while mini-B end has the
ID pin floating. Of course if you can figure out a way to ground the ID
pin on the mini-B end, that will do the trick too. ID pin is the fifth
pin on the mini connectors.
