What I need to do is have a hard drive connected to two devices. The hard drive has mini usb. The devices are female usb like a PC. Anyone know where I can find a cable that has 1 Male mini usb on one end and 2 female mini usb on the other? That way I can use a standard Male Type A to a mini male cable. Only one device will be on at a time. So there won't be any confliction.

The opposite of this????

you could try building one, try getting a few SPDT switches (about 4) 1 mini usb cable, 2 male ended usb cables. strip the end of your cables and attach to the switches. or if you want to get fancy use a relay instead of the switches ( this would probably simplify it). i can draw up some schematics if you would like.

there you go. (btw, the usb ends dont match up in the picture, so just go color for color.)

Ya, i could build one. And really, I don't need the relay. Since im only gunna be using one device at a time.

I was really looking for something pre-built.

just got a little carried away, it would make satisfying noise though.

It would make a very satisfying noise. It would remind me of work to much. Lol.
