So is there a way to turn off power to the modular device and then unload it and >put in the new device and have it plug and play. I know in the past Dell has made some windows apps that do that for you so that you can have this capability. Does anyone know of a similar Linux App.

hi, have a look at the software-RAID HOWTO (www.google.com) at the beginning, the author give some tips (and links ???) about ide hot plugging ... what I remember is only that it is more risky than with an scsi sub-system ... the thing is that if you remove somehow the dvd drive, you need to force the system to re-scan the ide bus the get proper access to your hard drive. Good Luck, MaNU --
