one you get on printers and _some_ scanners. At least three small

I have never seen type b.
Have you never had a USB printer (or earlier scanner)? It was very
common.
Here's an A to B cable ("USB printer cable"):

Why?
I thought it was proper nettiquete to set it.
I'm all for proper netiquette, but the OP posted to both 'groups, and I couldn't see why (as it's really hardware he was discussing, and the
thread though drifted was still hardware) was any more specific to Linux than Windows.

Nope, I didn't really use em back in the day.
Fairy nuff. (You make me feel old with "back in the day"; when I started
out with printers, parallel port connections were the norm!)
