Watch out, Have fried an EIDE hard drive by simulating hot swapping. Putting in the EIDE cable and power cable to the HDD while the computer is running. It will acutally work, but the HDD will eventually die from your shock treatment to it. Standard EIDE was never designed to be hot swappable, unless you have custom hardware to do hot swap on an EIDE HDD. regards, --- Andre M.
