    Lo all,

    Is there anywhere in town I could pick up a USB B Male to USB B Male cable?

    Found an old router with a USB type B socket that I can connect my external USB HDD to for some network storage goodness. Hopefully.

    Have you tried peats\maplin\argos? One of those should have it.

    Tried those sites, they don't have the (pretty rare) cable I'm looking for.

    They also charge stupid prices for cables, just fyi.

    Hoping someone might know one of the sidestreet pc shops that might have one.

    They're on amazon but thought I'd pick up one in town.

    Are you sure the router will support it, before you shell out for a cable?
