Probably, IIRC, 2 is transmit, 3 is receive and 7 is ground. I guess if you
can put a 20 ohm (not sure what you need here, just a guess) resistor across
3 and 7, maybe you can get it to work. But of course, at your own risk!

Yep! Not too long ago. Got a few of them at Staples. Check places like
pricewatch.com, edealsinfo.com, gotapex.com, slickdeals.net, even eBay! I
saw a 256 US jump drive for $25.00 !! Back in Feb, 2004, Lowes had a screwup
with an ad for a $700 dishwasher for $96.00. Guess what? I ordered one and
got it! When I went to pick it up, they said, "So you're one of the ones
that got this at that price. You don't know how lucky you are". They had to
honor it since I ordered it and paid thru their site and it took my order
and charged my card. LOL I tried to go on a couple hours later after I
ordered it just to see if it was still available and it was changed back. So
sometimes you have to watch for this stuff.
