Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2003 14:27:22 -0500 LOL! Fred, you ruined my day! I now feel like such a complete dumbass. I assumed by reading the Archos feature promotion on the orange side of the box which reads "Fast USB 2.0 Plug & Play connection" that it did transfer at 480 mbps. Now that I read the smaller print on the back, I see that it does actually say the 12mbps rate. I'm really beginning to despise Archos. Irrespective of my misunderstanding, and Archos misleading advertising, I also was trying to find high quality, well shielded, gold plated connectors for USB. This is much more critical for True High Speed USB 2.0 480mbps transfers, like I use for my external Maxtor 250GB USB 2.0 HD (uses A to B) Now this Archos cable pursuit has become mute. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fred Maxwell" <rockbox_at_anti-spam.org> To: <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 1:15 PM Subject: RE: Archos USB A-Male to A-Male against USB Law !!! > Steamship wrote: > > > 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.
