Like I said, terrible idea. I've never blown a disk/controller doing it, but I'm
not interested in discovering the odds and I only ever had to do it once or twice (perhaps
"always" was the wrong word, it was a rather unusual occurrence).
Switching the power on for an external SCSI enclosure after booting was a bit preferable,
and I think it avoids *most* of the hotplugging hazards (but I don't pretend to
understand the mechanics of hotplugging hazards well; TI has a great app note on it that I
only skimmed).

hotplugged the SCSI cable, though I'm perfectly aware that's a
terrible idea (and was then, too).
UGH!
Well, I asked.
