Poseidon GUI screenshoots : Comment 10 of 20 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Chris Hodges on 10-May-2002 23:20 GMT | In reply to Comment 7 (Sam Dunham): @corpse:
again: You can plug out any device at any time with Poseidon, you should just be
aware that this can cause data loss (i.e. if you unplug your cf-reader or
zip drive while writing), this normally does not cause crashes or anything.
With the printer driver it's even the case that you can plug it out during
printing and the rest of the job will be discarded. If you start another
job while the printer is not connected, the device will wait for you to
reconnect the printer and start printing right away.
@sam:
And no, it does not depend on which hub or port or hardware controller you
reconnect the device ;-)
@corpse again:
Currently, there is no annoying "Hey! There's a new hardware in the system!"
requester window, but only a short message in the Trident window (if Trident
is currently running). If there's demand, I might add such stuff nag windows
:) But I prefer the "plug it in and it is usable within a second" method.
Class drivers will have to come one after the other. The Next Big Thing(TM) will be
a general HID class. Hardware drivers have to be done by third parties (this
includes PCI and Amithlon). |
