This information will probably not help you, but right now, i am using a
2m, type A-A cable (AK 670/2-2,0) from http://www.reichelt.de/. There are
also 1m and 5m available. The price is €0.55 to €0.98.
The archos offer is a disgusting, shameless personal offense and should be
seen as attempted fraud or usury. Bastards!
