i heard unplugging ps2 connectors (old keyboard & mouse) from PC's wrecks motherboards. i don't use much common sense but yeah i'm not unplugging ANYTHING from ANYTHING amiga with it on. actually pc's too now. never was sure why the motherboard suddenly stopped working on the old old dell pc I have but yeah that's why.
my point is don't take chances with that crap. it's not worth it. i've unplugged plenty of stuff i'm not supposed to with computers on and had it not break the computer it's a 1 in 100 chance, but it'll happen to you eventually. i heard even USB hard disk unplugging on PC without doing the safely remove hardware is like that too with data. if you don't do it 1 out of 100 times it'll lose your USB drive data. Oh and yeah with ps2 it's when it's already on and you plug it in i think, not when you take it out when it's on. there's lots of weird rules that make no sense so you just have to turn stuff off. Of course USB keyboards or anything w/out data IS hot swappable.(sorry for rant)
now i got my CD-ROM working with my surf squrrel and there's no buttons on my keyboard that work with Alfred Chicken I just burned :/
I'm going to start a thread for it i think. says press blue for options and red to play but only button on my PAL layout keyboard here that does ANYTHING is left Alt makes it go blank and still hear the music
