Re: Not mains but wiring just the same
If you don't care about destroying the innards of the plug, you can, in fact, plug in a USB A cable the wrong way around.
Had an eMachine with all of *TWO* USB 1.0 A connectors on the bloody thing; one for the mouse on the back, and one on the front. The front was destroyed by an end user applying brute force and bloody ignorance to it. Fortuntely, I had a spare 4 port card that corrected that problem.
'never obsolete' my pale furry arse...
Thankfully, my only exposure to token ring was one that used type 3 cabling.
