Does anybody have schematics of an easy way to send
power using the 2 MIDI pins in a 5 pins cable ?
I don't want to use any of the 3 remaining wires of the cable
for universal use on ANY MIDI cables..
I know this company uses that technology:

but I can't find any circuit ideas that uses it..
I know I'll need some kind of charge pump design to get something like 5 
volts
out of the MIDI (idle or in use) signal.

Any clues ?
