I hot swap ps2 devices all the time and have NEVER had any ill effect other
than the mouse/kb not working, requiring a reboot sometimes. Often(YMMV),
hot plugging them unfreezes a mouse or kb, in my experiance. While it might
not be the BEST thing to do, it has NEVER hurt anything *I've* done it on.
