That kinda makes me laugh, because isn't the idea of USB to
have *one* standard plug that fits into one jack? --Seriously,
my favorite "clicky" keyboard is a PS/2 and I have a USB adaptor
that saved me.
The thing about the memsticks is that on my tower cases, you
have to get down and crawl around and find the jack... Is there
such a thing as a USB "extender" cable, say, a meter or two long?
