A cord which allowed a computer to emulate a device might have a few uses ...
My particular area of interest is keeping computers our of the waste stream, reclaiming value by setting them up with Linux and OSS apps.
Since the huge majority of installed machines are and will continue to be Windows, I would like to build functionality into a machine, whereby that functionality could be added to a Windows machine by plugging it in as a USB device.
This would allow reconfigured computers to potentially be useful in virtually all settings.
What would be the minimum requirements of a computer-computer USB cable?
Thanks, Kent
Sounds possible. Not sure if there is a market for that though.

Sure, like the one you're trying to do, for example. Another one I'd like is to be able to use a computer as a USB sniffer, but again that means my computer would need a device-type connection as well as a host-type connection.
So, even with the required cabling, a Linux box is unable to emulate a device?
Could a cord be made which had a device inline and made the Linux box look like a disk?
