1. Hot swap or warm swap meaning you should be able to
remove or attach devices to your system without rebooting.
2. I do have NT WS 4.0 installed on my 760ELD but have not
tried to use those function yet since I know these things
are not yet supported in NT itself.
3. I haven't use those utilities you mentioned so can't say
what they are.
I shared your frustration with not able to hot swap on a
machine that's supposed to support it. I bought the external
floppy attachment instead of fighting with it. It took my
vendor (CompUSA) 4 months to deliver this item however.
Good luck,
John Pham
