[Q] PCI and CPCI hot_swap

[Jianyong Sun <jsun@fore.com>]

Sorry but I can not find the answer from the FAQ

What is the general status of Hot Swap capability of PCI and Compact PCI?

>From the CompactPCI spec, it defines a few pins for hop_swap. However, 
are there BUFFERs available which support hot_swap? 

One of the engineers here said that Hot_swap for PCI is more of a software
issue since the OS has to be reconfigurated during Hot_swap. But to me, he's
talking about Plug&Play in stead of Hot_swap. Am I right?

Any help or pointers will be appreciated. I'll post a collection of
answers after a week if necessary.

Thanks.
