Dell XPS T600r P3 running 98SE. Belkin 4 port Hub FSU234.

I've had this hub a while with no problems until recently. Machine refused
to boot. Unplugged all peripherals except what is necessary (keyboard mouse
and monitor), then would boot. Found that with no devises attached, as soon
as I attach the hub W98, falls over with the following fatal exception 0E at
002:C0014FDO. Then on attempting to restart I get a KEBUGCHECKEX called by
c002b84f. Error code 48 - Param. 0 0 0 0 System halted.

Can anyone help me out here with some sort of fix and/or explanation?
Many thanks.
Dave
