I believe Mitch's cable actually sets the pin to high or low. If you take a peek at the cable or the code, he uses the DTR line I believe to drive it. A quick little hack to a single wire and you could no-doubt run a relay directly off it since it's already connected to a transistor and is not being fed by the serial port, but rather a 5v line on the HD unit itself.
