Do you realise how stupid it is to even ask that? How many hundreds of

different places that aren't available at the other places? How many
that are fine, but aren't mentioned by someone, so people won't buy
them? How many of the same product are sold by different labels? How
many of different products are sold under the same label?

I was hoping that you could name just one commercially available USB
cable that was not usable for USB 2.0

Somehow I can't imagine how unimportant that question is.... But, if
you want me to pick you up a few of them from the cheap computer swap
shops here in Taipei I'll get a few and send them to you. While I'm at
it, I'll even get you some cheap CDs or DVDs that produce coasters 5-10%
of the time.

I've made my share of coasters but that is an entirely separate topic.
No, it isn't.
There are substandard products everywhere one looks. And there are
products that were built to satisfy a given standard but don't pass
muster when the standard is updated. You just seem bent on trying to
have Tim name a given product that will work on USB 1.0 but won't work
on USB 2.0. Frankly, it is boring.
I don't doubt that there are cables out there that work perfectly well
with USB 1.0 and fail with USB 2.0. Just like I don't doubt that there
are 10BaseT cables that work just fine at 10Mbps and not so good at
100Mbps....because I have experienced that end of the spectrum. But, I
don't have to see them and touch them to know they exist.
They exist. And, frankly, having been on the hardware end of
manufacturing super computers, I could tell you some wonderful stories
about coaxial cables used in the Control Data Cyber 205. But, you
probably won't believe me either.
Oh, that that "supervisor" that wasn't concerned or wouldn't even
consider a cable problem is just plan...well how can I put
it...ahhh....wrong.
But, tell you what....you can go on believing what you will.
But, it is truly unimportant why you are trying to "prove". So,
whatever.....
