Is it ever the case that two joysticks were plugged into the same side of the computer, and one stopped working, but the other continued working?

In our first failure of this type we had USB hub plugged into right hand connector and nothing plugged into left connector. We had KOP joystick, Logitech Extreme 3D, and Cypress module plugged into the hub. KOP joystick continued to work. Logitech was ignored. I did not check diagnostic leds at the time. Both joysticks did show in the list of devices.

In our second failure of this type, same configuration as above but RED power connector from hub plugged into left connector, both joysticks did not work. Driver station software would not cleanly exit. Dashboard continued to be displayed until we forced power off.
