Actually no. The conclusion of that thread was something like common OTS IDE components aren't hot swappable, because even if we ignore the bus shock problem and the controller supports proper power down, the hard disk probabily won't.
Considering Roy is asking about specific hardware its not of much relevance overall. -- ____/| Ragnar Højland Freedom - Linux - OpenGL | CCNA - Brainbench MVP \ o.O| PGP94C4B2F0D27DE025BE2302C104B78C56 B72F0822 | for Unix Programming =(_)= "Thou shalt not follow the NULL pointer for | (www.brainbench.com) U chaos and madness await thee at its end."
