Wesley,

It's actually an "Illegal" cable as defined by the USB standard.
Only masters are supposed to have the 'A' (flat) type cable and the
slaves are supposed to have the 'B' (box) type cable. But archos
probably didn't have the space for the 'B' type cable and
broke the rules. So finding a AA type cable is a little difficult.
But any AA type USB cable should work fine.
