You're thinking of component. The two are (or were) frequently mixed up.

Ah yes, the old "let them eat cake" solution.

Both standards needed sleeves to be read.

For 3.5", yes. 5.25" disks could be removed from their protective enclosures, inserted into a drive, and used as normal. At least until the exposed medium was damaged by fingerprints or other debris. Not something you would normally do though. Source: Did it myself a few times mostly out of curiosity.

There are USB over IP solutions that utilize standard networking protocols, but I was thinking of just a USB extender kind of thing. Like this: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Ethernet-Extender-Adapter/dp/B08HHFZY5H?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A1AMUYYA3CT6HJ

Edit: If I wasn't clear, this device needs exclusive usage of the cable. It cannot be simultaneously used for networking.

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

You can get adapters to send USB over standard Ethernet cabling. So you could use your existing wiring but get more reliable USB printing.

There was one flat-Earther who built his own rocket in an attempt to prove his claims. He ended up crashing and dying.

Are you running this on the same PC/OS install that you were having problems on previously?

The thing I fucking hate is when the game doesn't make it obvious when a checkpoint is activated. Then you go to quit the game: "Everything since the last checkpoint will be lost". Well WHEN WAS THE LAST MOTHERFUCKING CHECKPOINT, ASSHOLE?
