Ide Hot-swaping?

Ide Hot-swaping?

[Pozsar Balazs]

Is it possible to hot-swap ide drives and re-detect them?
Does 'normal' Pc-hardware allow it?

thanks,
Balazs Pozsar.

read a recent man page for hdparm and you will see kernel
allows remove/add ide interface.  scripts with correct
parameter usage are in contrib directory of hdparm source.
IDE maintainer has code to electrically turn off (tristate)
ide channels on most PC ide chips, but is waiting to
demonstrate at an industry conference before releasing
to public.

Yes, but I have not made public that code until more clean ups.
