USB cable help please?

I've just bought a Sumvision Cyclone Micro 3 for my daughter to use to watch dvd's on her tv.

You can link a hard drive to it (where all the dvd's would be ripped to) but all my external hard drives have a printer style connector and the cable supplied with the Cyclone has a usb one end and a mini usb at the other.

Can I buy a cable that has a mini usb connector at one end and a printer style connector at the other?

Just done a short search and I can't see what I'm after.

Why not try a standard usb printer cable and add a mini converter as here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-2-0-Type-A-Female-to-Mini-B-5-Pin-Male-Adapter-Converter-Connector-Cable-/270946587999?pt=UK_Computing_USB_Cables&hash=item3f15acd55f

Doesnt it come with a usb host cable anyway. Mini usb one end and female the other end, just plug the cable from the external drive into the host cable.

Just checked the packaging and yes, you are right. I clearly overlooked that.

Thanks. :beer:
