SUMMARY: Hot plug scsi

Thanks to people who replied: Giles Gamon, Stephen Forbes, Robert Clift,

Harringtron, Pierre Zimmerman, Hichael Morton and Cian O'Sullivan.

The consensus (by 11 to 1) was that it wouldn't cause any problems. Various
people suggested running drvconfig or touch /reconfigure after doing this to
ensure no remnants of devices remained.

I unplugged it and nothing fell over :) I'm going the touch /reconfigure
route, next routine reboot will sort it out 

Thanks a stack :)
