Alright. I'm not one for patience. Ever. So I just ripped the freakin' cable open (it'd only cost a buck or two for a new one anyway) and traced the wires. Here's my tentative solution:

Red cable- 5v power. Same as a normal cable
Brown cable- Data (-). Normal cables are white
Yellow cable- Data (+). Normal cables are green
Blue cable- Ground. Normal cables are black

The white cable led to the rim of the USB device, and isn't necessary for what I'm doing (I think.)

So. One freakin' messed up cable.
