Only if the implementation is badly broken. USB has supported multiple
devices per port from the get-go.

The primary difference between 1.0 and 1.1 was the addition of 12 Mbps
maximum speed ("full-speed" mode). 1.0 had a maximum speed of only 1.5
Mbps.

It's unlikely the computer is only 1.0 in any event -- very few 1.0
devices actually made it to market -- 1.1 was the earliest version with
wide support.

That said, there were lots of badly broken 1.1 implementations, both
hardware and software, which led to the unflattering moniker "Unusable
Serial Bus" as the true meaning of USB.
