That's what I gathered from my USB book and the SiS 5598 specs.  I do
have one question about the 5598 and OHCI since I don't have the raw
OHCI specs yet (if you have a URL handy it'd be appreciated).  The
5598 has 4 registers starting at offset 100h to control the host
controller emulation mode.  Are these OCHI or is this 5598 specific?

The chipset can apparently emulate a traditional keyboard and mouse
interface from USB attached devices without even needing a usb driver,
etc.  I haven't tested it.
