Re: almost whoops

I do have a USB-A to USB-A cable that just makes the wire longer, though. I'm sure I'll need that eventually.

Plug to socket. That's quite normal.

Now a cable with USB-A plugs both ends? And not one of those "connect two hosts so you'll have a sort of network with disk sharing" cables with a lump in the middle. A LapLink version for the early USB era.

Oe one that goes from USB-A to Firewire, without any converting gubbins, just galvanic connections.
