Back then as a kid I always wondered that how the hell would Windows Commander/Total Commander's Connection between two PC with USB cable feature work and what cable would it need... (never saw A to A cables at that point)
The help file was about some special cable, but the photo had an A-A cable on it with some extra circuits in a plastic casing near the connectors. I was amazed and sad at the same time, since I would never had such a cable, and I really wanted to try hook up two PCs with USB, that just sounded nasty for some reason ๐
