Are you sure it wasn't some kind of USB-USB networking thing? I heard of
that once, so that you could link it to your desktop without messing
around with bits of ethernet.

The functionality access the hard disk with the machine switched off
wasn't there though, if I remember correctly.

That said, I can't remember where I saw that thing, either.
