Sometimes when I plug in my Zaurus (PDA by Sharp that runs Linux 
out-of-the-box) my PC will reset, but only if I plug in the cable to the 
PC before I attach the Zaurus.  I haven't seen it happen if I plug the 
Zaurus in to the cable, then the cable into the PC (at least not yet).  
I've also seen it happen if the cradle is attached to the PC and I set 
the Zaurus in the cradle.  Again, if the I attach the cable to the PC 
while Zaurus is in the cradle it's OK.
