Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2003 12:37:29 -0500 Note my comment presenting this email as "quite humerous," but if you can find the USB Police, by all means follow the advice of Jayb from Belkin Cables. On a serious note, I was looking for a high quality, well insulated cable with gold connectors made by a company that takes cable manufactuing seriously. None of the recognized, quality cable suppliers have one available. If I only wanted a "Roadrunner Acme Brand USB Cable" I will just keep using the default "no name" one that shipped with the unit. When you do technical research on various USB, IDE, SATA, Parallel, SCSI cables and how much difference there is in actual measured performance, and shielding from other electromagnetic sources, you will know why I am looking for quality. I still have not found any, despite the better search term that Björn gave me. When I first searched using his suggested: "A male to A male" without the quotes, I thought Björn had a sideline gay porn distribution network running on the side. ;-) ----- Original Message ----- From: <ajf_at_midmaine.com> To: <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 8:11 AM Subject: Re: Archos USB A-Male to A-Male against USB Law !!! > I was able to buy an extra A-A cable from a local computer store for $15, > and it is quite a bit longer than the supplied cable.
