>For file transfer only, I use crossover USB cable 10$.
Just to avoid anybody trying to save themselves $10 by actually making a
"crossover USB cable", it won't work... USB device chips are currently so
cheap and so small that they can afford to put two of them in a cable
(small enough to fit in the USB connector grip part). Each computer gets a
USB device, and the two devices talk to each other. Doesn't really matter,
as long as you can buy the $10 cable and do your work. But if you actually
open a USB cable and try to just crossover the cables, you'll blow out one
or more of your computer USB controllers, and possibly damage the motherboard.
Sorry, but my company develops USB devices (and many other things), and it
mildly irritates me that other companies call these things crossover cables.
