Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2005 16:45:08 +0100 - it's againts specifications of usb, so very few devices only have it, so Usb A-A-cables are expensive when you want to buy one. (I got about half a dozen of unused A-B-Cables at home...) - if you've been invited to a friends house with the words "could you get some music?", be sure you also get the cable to the music, he most probably won't have. If it was Usb-B, you could help yourself by stealing the cable to any other usual usb-device he has (printer, scanner, hub, ...) - if your little sister takes that A-A- cable and plays the old game "why can't misses fork never be married to mister power socket" with you both computers, you will notice that some usb-controllers don't like that. Some may crash your computer, some may be grilled. In a computer, you can replace or add any usb-controller with low budget, but on a notebook, this gets either annoying (pcmcia-usc-card) or expensive (replacing motherboard) - PLUS: I accuse the fact it's a usb-A that everybody asks if rockbox could be image tank some day with the archos hardware. (I count not less that 5 such feature requests.) did I forget one of the hardest arguments ? lImbus On Sat, 15 Jan 2005 08:42:21 -0600, Jason Williams <jwilliams_at_wi.rr.com> wrote: > what is so bad about socket A? > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "BlueChip" <cs_bluechip_at_webtribe.net> > To: "Rockbox development" <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> > Sent: Saturday, January 15, 2005 7:37 AM > Subject: Re: First experience of iRiver H-140 > > > Thank Dog the put a sensible USB socket on it, the Archos Socket-A is the > > bain of musical life. > > > > BC > > > > _______________________________________________ > http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox > _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox Received on 2005-01-15 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
