Lucky you it has just crashed the machine for now: This is one of the many ways available to permanently damage your motherboard. AFAIK, only serial devices are safe to (un)plug with the machine turned on. Somebody killed a (then very expensive) i386, a printer and the disks by plugging the (turned on) printer to the (running) machine. The monitor survived, and that was it. -- Horst von Brand vonbrand@sleipnir.valparaiso.cl Casilla 9G, Vin~a del Mar, Chile +56 32 672616
