Depends on the hardware. Maybe it's a silent failure (as with CardBus reads returning all ones); or a message passing error that the driver sees; or maybe the lack of handshake means a bus error gets generated, and the driver oopses. That last is unfriendly, enough so that I think nobody would design a "hotpluggable" bus where hardware behaves like that. - Dave --===============53092047813252741== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline --===============53092047813252741==--
