That's not necessarily true. There is work in linux to support Tri-stating the ide devices with the help of a custom card that will allow one to cut power to a specific ide device. Tri-stating allows Hot Swapping of ide devices now. I even had a picture of the device the person is using to hot swap. I'm sorry that I have forgotten this kernel hackers name as i have lost the original email Along with said picture. I'm pretty sure the person who gave it to me was 2.4.x's IDE guy but I cant be sure right now.
