Hi Ben,
That is a little odd. I have a similar machine, running 10.2 and I
run all my USB critters from a Targus un-powered hub. The only issue,
expectedly, is that the machine won't power up from the keyboard, but
does so just fine from the button on the front of the box.
Might possibly be something with that particular hub. Any way you
could try a different one?
I have a Belkin powered hub on my B&W and have the keyboard/mouse
plugged into it. The hub works just fine =EXCEPT=... if I plug in my
Iomega USB CD/RW drive, the machine will not boot. Just gets to the
spinning wheel of woe and sits there till I remove the drive and re-
boot. Plugged in after boot-up, the drive may or may not work (Mostly
not)!

I have an iMac 333 running mac os 10.1.5 and with 160MB RAM. I
recently bought a powered USB Hub and it works great but recently I
have found that my computer won't startup with it connected. I know
that with an iMac you have to have a keyboard connected to make it
startup and that keyboard can't be connected to a USB Hub. But my
keyboard is plugged into USB port 1 with the Hub in USB Port 2. If I
disconnect the hub and press the power button it starts up fine and I
can connect it just after I have pressed the button and everything
works as expected. I have obviously tried pressing the power button on
the computer. It is not awful to do it is just an inconvenience. Any
help is appreciated? Thank you.
