    Hi,
    I just started to play with compact flash. I have a small cheap
    reader device on the USB bus to my linux machine.

    It is easy to plug and unplug the compact flash from the reader
    and it is also easy to plug the whole reader from the USB.
      I was wondering if the compact flash is actually hot pluggable?

    I know the USB spec says that the USB device itself is hot pluggable.

    I was also wondering if all USB devices are actually hot pluggable or
    have some manufactures cheated.

    I realize that I still have to do the right thing in linux and unmount
    the device before unplugging. No device can protect me from that kind of
    screwup.

    Al
