I had the bright idea of trying live distros:

fedora 11 didn't see USB1 stuff, but didn't hang lsusb either

musix 2 saw most usb1 stuff - couldn't see midisport, but that might
just be due to not having all the firmware in place.

Looks more and more like a software/drivers issue. Any suggestions?
