I also have a USB mouse & scanner.
One day, just to test it, I was able to do a scan, Sync to Empeg and use the mouse simultaneously. This was in Beta 9 when things were shakier and I haven't had the need to do so since, but things have been more stable for me in B10a.

May be an odd combination of drivers & boards.
