The ins and outs of USB (IBM developerWorks) Posted Apr 29, 2005 13:35 UTC (Fri) by smitty_one_each (subscriber, #28989) [Link] Plus, it's cheaper to group all of the I/O USB stuff on one USB hub.

The ins and outs of USB (IBM developerWorks) Posted May 1, 2005 2:43 UTC (Sun) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link] it varies motheboard to motherboard, but I can definantly attest that hotplugging PS/2 keyboards can pop fuses on the motherboard (it depends which pins connect first, just the right combination will cause problems)
back when I worked PC repair I repaired dozens of machines with this exact problem (interestingly the manufacturers expected service was motherboard replacement)
The ins and outs of USB (IBM developerWorks) Posted May 1, 2005 15:09 UTC (Sun) by bk (guest, #25617) [Link] Weird. It's worked fine on all my machines, I didn't even know it could cause problems. Nice to know, I guess.
