That just sounds scary to me... I can just imagine getting the card a bit cockeyed and getting shorting out to adjoining pins.... Oooh! Look at the pretty smoke...
As I understand it (and it's likely I misunderstand....) architectures that support PCI hotplugging don't run power to the PCI slots until a very low voltage continuity/ground test succeeds. This "card sense" indicates that a card is properly slotted and prevents accidentally letting the magic blue smoke out. -- -Regards- -Quentin Hartman- _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
