Hi,

Does PS/2 support 'hotswap' as usb does?
AFAIK no.
Longer time ago I've heard rumors that you shouldn't unplug and replug a
device from/to a PS/2 port because that can cause damage to the hardware.
I have done it few times with a keyboard but never had any problems...
IME, removing a PS/2 device while the system is running will work (in
the sense that the machine continues to run), but re-connecting won't
have any effect (until reboot ;-).
