Slight update:
This morning my machine failed to boot up despite my using a USB keyboard
connected to the external hub into the rear if the machine. The USB
keyboard was (literally) a pain to use anyway[1], so I've gone back to
using my much-liked left-handed keyboard.
Given that the problem has now cropped up when *not* using the left-handed
keyboard I guess that eliminates it and its PS2-USB adaptor as being the
primary cause of the problem. It looks like either the rear USB sockets of
the ARMiniX or/and the hub I've been using are causing the problem to
arise.
I have another externally powered hub I've 'liberated' from elsewhere so am
giving that a try to see if it make any difference. At present I only have
the keyboard on that hub, and the mouse, printer, etc, on the other.
However the liberated hub isn't very good so I think I'll need to get a new
one. That said, it now occurs to me that the reason I think it isn't very
good is that my better half had problems with her keyboard and mouse on
*her* ARMiniX some time ago. So maybe the rear sockets in particular are
very fussy/variable in some way. Or maybe this is a 'feature' of the USB
driving by the OS?

[1] After only about 10 mins of continuous use I started to get the old
discomfort in the wrist that led me to switch to the better keyboard many
years ago.
