It's probably a software thing.  Which version of MacOS are you using on
the 7100?  My 7100/80 AV has no problem with hot swapping ADB (I have to
disconnect the keyboard to unplug the (powerbook external) modem that gets
its power off the ADB port.  Shutting down isn't an option as it's usually
while my parents are using some other program and I need a decent
connection for the Powerbook or Apple IIgs.  That's with 7.5.1.  7.5 ot
7.5.2 or 7.5.3 may behave differently.  So once again, what version of the
OS (and for that matter, a 7100/66 or 7100/80)?

Just curious... that sounds rather bizarre.
