I take it, then, that nobody has started on this work yet.
No problem, I just wanted to see if somebody had made headway.

Well, looks like I'll have to shop for a peripheral card 
(an FCode'ed one at that) and see what happens.

Subject: [Q] cPCI hotplugging


Hi folks,

I was referred to this group by an article at lwn.net, and
it seems that some pretty exciting stuff is going on here.

My question is whether or not this list is concerning itself
with PCI (non-cardbus) hotplug, or simply focusing (for now)
on USB, FireWire and Cardbus.  If so, is there any preliminary
documentation on this subsystem (the webpage is understandably
sparse at this time)?

I have been working with a Sun CP1400/1500 CompactPCI box and
it would be most excellent to look into CompactPCI hotplugging.

Thanks for the update,
E
