Thats exactly what occured when I tried to use a usb scanner on a 
TYAN Trinity 100 (S-1590) mobo, which has a VIA vt82c586b chipset 
on it.

This chipset appears to be able to support a usb mouse, but any 
attempt to access a scanner results in the whole machine being hung 
someplace in about the first 4k thats read from the scanner.

That mobo is getting pretty long in the tooth today though, nearly 5 
years old now and is maxed out with a K6-III running at 500 mhz on 
it.  Its my firewall/guard dog box here now.
