I think Elecraft has said that the hardware behind the USB connector
provided by the P3SVGA board is not capable of handling a USB hub or
equivalent.  It's one device at a time:  mouse (some day I hope), keyboard,
or memory stick.

Although I have never bought into the need for P3SVGA, it would

That sure would be nice; but I think new hardware would be required,
something that is not possible with software alone.
