Again there is a 3 step process going on: 1) note that a product of this
sort exists, without remembering too much detail about it.  2) find the
product description page again, and this time study it carefully
including the pin diagrams, to develop a theory of whether it does the
right thing and which pins to connect or disconnect.  3) actually buy
the cable and test the theory.

Right now we are at step 1.  I think it is best to avoid the whole thing
though.  The approach of splitting the pins out from a single port is
too kludgy, if it is at all practical to use two ports.

No it does not.  That is why I linked those level shifter cards.

The ESP32-S2 has it.  Here are the API docs:

https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32s2/api-reference/peripherals/usb_host.html

The CDC (communication device class) software is here:

https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tree/master/examples/peripherals/usb/host/cdc/cdc_acm_vcp

It looks like a potential pain in the neck to use.  I currently have an
Adafruit Feather board with that chip so maybe I will try it.

The chip also supports wifi and bluetooth, fwiw.  The software stacks
for both of those are way more complicated than USB.

OK.
