Swapping CF Cards on the HP568?

[psudoc64]

Question:

Is it OK to hot swap CF cards on the HP568 (leaving the unit on) or should I turn it off before I change cards.

Thanks in advance!

It's fine to do it while the unit is on. CF cards were designed that way.

In fact, you CAN'T do it while the unit is off, because it powers up on inserting or removing a card. :-)

That's the way to do it. Try not to remove the card when accesing it; that may corrupt the data.
