i have a newbie's question regarding this topic. when i read the guy's
experience, the thought crossed my mind, " wasn't firewire the first
hotswappable technology? before that, didn't you have to have everything
plugged into your mac before starting it, so the startup sequence could
find out everything that was plugged into the system as it booted up and
did the hardware check? wasn't USB before firewire?"
my wonder being, could the act of plugging the stick in to a mac
already hot and running, disrupt the whole bus and cause it to crash
like this guy describes? or is a USB device like that all right to
plug into a mac which is already on and running? is it hot swappable?
