midway through

"When working with USB devices, from time to time I faced such situations when functions P-n-P and HotSwap didn't work from the beginning, that means that the device couldn't be recognized on connecting to the computer and refused to operate. We had to reboot the operating system in order to get the device work. When working with FireWire we noticed nothing similar. I tried the device on different computers, with different controllers and no difficulties occurred with P-n-P and HotSwap. "

google really is your friend you know😛

Thanks bro. 🙂
 
Firewire is PnP, but there's something you need to keep in mind. At least on the Mac, you need to unmount the HD before unplugging it, otherwise the Mac will panic(it's not show stopping, but panics aren't fun).
 
What a fun thread! Anyway, I have XP Pro on three systems, and have Firewire devices on three systems. I found it to be the most perfect PnP I have ever used. Easy - simple and right on the first time. 🙂
 
Yes and NO. Depends on the device.
WinXP will auto detect and install my firewire card.
When I am using External-enclosure HD, it will auto detect as mass storage w/o problem.
HOWEVER, I do have to install driver for my JVC DV camcorder enable to do movie editing.
 
Yes Firewire cards and devices are PnP. Works much better than USB 1.1.

My Mac doesn't kernel panic when I unplug a HD without unmounting first. It just sends up a dialogue box saying that it's not wise to do what I did because it can cause data loss.

The only thing I've noticed is that unmounting ensures the cache is flushed, but I've never toasted a drive the few times I forgot to unmount before unplugging the drive.

On the PC you don't have to unmount, but I think it's advisable. If you unmount too soon, depending on the setting Windows will also still have stuff in the cache.

ie. In my limited (unintentional) experience, if you don't unmount you may lose a file or something but not the entire drive (unless you're in the middle of a write or something.

With other devices like Firewire CD-RW, DVD-R, etc. it doesn't matter.

Sorry, I suppose I used the wrong word.😉 Mac's won't kernel panic, but they'll panic in the sense that they'll give you a warning and chew you out about it.
