OT: Hot-swappable IDE drives

[Ron Johnson <ron.l.johnson@cox.net>]

Hi,

I know that there are removable cartridges that allow one to swap
IDE disk drives when the PC is shut down, i.e. cold-swapping.

Is there a way to hot-swap IDE drives like it it possible with 
SCSI drives?  The 'net research I've done indicates that it is
not possible, but I wonder if I have missed anything.

TIA,
Ron
