Subject:   Dell Inspiron 8100 Hot-swappable device support?
Message-ID:  <001801c1abc0$00265ff0$0200a8c0@tigra>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I've got my i8100 pretty well setup under FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE...the test
Nvidia drivers are working under X (can't leave X, but oh well), sound,
pccardd, printing, DVD, even my LTWinmodem, which was stunningly easy.

My main concern/curiosity is: is there any way to get the hot-swappable
drive to detect/work? I've got a Toshiba CD R/W IDE hot swappable drive that
detects on boot as acd1, but I'd like to be able to get the device to
initialize post-boot. Is that even possible in FreeBSD, or any Unix for that
matter? Windows seems to treat it like a USB-style device, complete with
"ejection" support.

If anyone has any info, that'd be great.

Thanks,

Cory.
