Further cleaning up in the office found an odd cable... USB on one

Was there such a thing.

My cable collection was sort of hilarious, I don't know why I kept

I Just reciently had to procure a Centronics to Parallel prot cable.
No one carries those anymore, except the little computer shops. Hang
on to those as they are obsolete.
