A small update, in that removal of the USB card effected nothing but removal of the USB card, so back in it went for my printer's sake. However, in the frew-ing and toe-ing brought about by my ill-conceived installation of a partitioned WD 500GB hard drive into the DA, and the painful recovery therefrom, there ensued an unrelated (causally) series of events with perhaps some unexplainable significance.
As the result of a lurgie-induced cough while I had a mouthful of coffee and an eyeful of the ADC display, the Macally keyboard was bathed in goofee. Its sensible construction saved it from the well-known coffee-in-the-innards fate, but I substituted the Macally kbd with a Mac Pro kbd while the Macally was being undressed and bathed. The Mac Pro mouse wakes from the Mac's sleep in 6sec rather than 15sec. Later today I shall see whether the revivified Macally can now do as well as, or worse than, before. The present expansion drives in the DA (a couple of Seagate 40GBs) hang off a Sonnet ATA-100 card because (in the age of SATA this, and SATA that) I can find no ATA-133 card (and its >128MB HDD immunity) anywhere, neither locally nor OS.
And, mirabile dictu, the SanDisk Cruzer runs very nicely from the Mac Pro kbd's second USB hub.
