On the one hand, according to Compact Flash 2.1 specs:

http://ianzag.megasignal.com/ftp/pub/doc/std/bus/local/CompactFlash/cfspc2_1.pdf

CF/CF+ cards should be resistible to hot-swapping (different pin length 
for power/general/detect signals for example). On the other hand, i 
don't see any explicit chapter dedicated to "hot-swap" compatibility or 
requirements.

I'm not sure for 100%, i guess first of all it depends on used CF 
adapter. Well, i'm sure 99.9% CF card will survive. But what about other 
device connected to the same cable like IDE disk which isn't hot-swap 
capable..
