When I bought my 3000/400 alpha 2 1/2 years ago, a big selling
point was the BA350's hot-swap capability. Then the first time
I needed a swap (DAT tape, TLZ06) the DEC service guy asked me to
shutdown and power down the BA350. My question: does anyone out there
have experience hot-swapping devices in the BA350? If so, do you
shutdown the OS? I would think that pulling the drive would be
equivalent to powering off a device (which was not the provider
of TERMPOWER) on a SCSI bus. That is, OK if the OS wasn't doing
anything with it at the time.
