I have an USB hard drive and an USB memory stick. The HD came with a cable with an 'A' connector for plugging into PC's and a Y split to a mini A connector and another A connector. Is it possible to make|buy an A socket gender changer so the memory stick can share the same cable thru the Y? or is there smarts required, like in a hub?
