*Thanks, read the manual and starter guide and see no mention of what type of cable to use. However when googling male connectors the picture of male to male is the same as the USB2 cable I'm borrowing (which works). Picture really is worth a thousand words. Had a little bit of terminological/gender confusion, but now understand what male to male means (no, didn't think it meant a gay connector :)). Fred's explanation also clarifies.
