ellarienLast night I tried to boot with the hub (minus keyboard and mouse) attached, and got the usual thing where the machine never managed to find its own hard drive.
Just now I decided to play a game of elimination. I plugged in the hub with nothing connected to it. Shut down. Switched on. Machine comes up, no problem. (This would have been impossibly tedious before I got the keyboard problem sorted.) Repeat, adding one peripheral at a time: printer, two external hard drives, floppy. Machine boots. Every. Time.
So now I have no idea. Will it boot happily from now on, or will it be a coin-flip every time? Did the one-at-a-time introduction actually help? What would happen if I plugged in the Dynex keyboard and unplugged the wireless one?
