I'm probably the only geek in the room that doesn't have a cell phone. Others may not be able to function without one. But I hate phone with a vengeance.

I have turned down a lot of 24/7 - 365 stuff.
But I "am" on call because of my consulting work. I have been called in at all hours, and remember a few years ago a 10pm call in, I left at 7am and slept the entire day.
I focus on having things setup so I am not needed like that.
(Fail to backup, start the restore. Or fail to backup, and WAIT until I wake up, LOL)
Nowadays with workers across the globe, hire some bloke in Australia or vice versa.
We have a few Russians to help cover the nights if we need it.
But we work to LIVE, not the other way around. Or at least we shouldn't.

Getting paid for off hours work is an expected bonus. Working off hours for free and especially where you have to get up at the middle of dinner or 3 am just to solve an issue is a pain. I did it when I was younger, now getting up really takes some effort.

on call here too 24/7+ my normal working hours, but mine is on site trips, sometimes I can call into a customer's computer and fix the issue, but 9 times out of 10 it's a hardware issue and I'll have to travel to the customer. all that for $65k a year.
I dream of quitting this job for the last 17 years. 3 more and my kids will have moved out might be time for a change then.

ie, not SCSI/USB, like the UGreen cables. I need just plain bulk, ie, the cable doesnt need any kind iof set up.
Has anyone come across this kind of thing?
|
|
|
|
|
No - but can I suggest that should you decide to Google it you check "Safe search" is on first
|
|
|
|
|
Already searched of course, but the detials of the USB interface arent advertised.

Or to quote Cosmo Kramer, "Look, I'm not judging you. In fact, we here at PBS, we have many programs celebrating your lifestyle."

Maybe I did not understand the request. But here, not realy a cable only (Atmel Pdf) : USB Host CDC Demonstration

Yeah, tried those, there is something bespoke in the chip thats only set by the driver that ships with the product. Changing it for my generic CDC-ACM driver results in no throughput.

so you're looking for an extension cable? This is what I googled: usb male to male cable[^]
came right up.

Which one consists of just bulk pipes?
|
|
|

In this context, what do you mean by "bulk pipes"? Is this to be used like a network cross-connection would be used between two PC's, for instance? USB-A port on machine X to USB-A port on machine Y?

USB, bulk pipes. You know, not ISOCH and not interrupt, but bulk.
The ones I have got are in fact SCSI disks (USB sticks) and the hardware needs to be initialised with a sh*t load of SCSI commands, which I dont want to have to replicate in my driver.
If the device were just bulk pipes then its a simple matter of throwing data down one end and reding it out the other.
It could be run as a network, if you had an NDIS-USB driver, that could spoof the Mac address, I have written one of these before, and could use it, if I had just bulk pipes on the hardware.
Anyway, just ordered two 'Windows Easy Transfer' cables. Perhaps they wil do the trick.
--edit--
And this is just to test some basic architecture while the real hardware is being developed.

So you want no signal processing to be done on the wires? Hmm, what you ordered may work. Not sure.

Signal processing? You dont understand USB I think. The USB hardware takes care of the low level protocol, the bus negotiaion, SOFs, NAKs, ACKs etc etc etc.
All it has to do is when connected to the host is present two bulk pipes, out and in respectively at each end so a very simple URB write and read can move data from one end to the other.

LOL. Yes, I know that. But your "bulk pipes" thing and the other comments you made confused me. Whatever. The Windows transfer cables that I've seen have a little box in between. I don't know what it does, maybe it absorbs/blocks the power output from either end.

Without the box the comms is, supposedly, ineffective.
