And we still want to have it automatic, just deferred.
of your board are incapable of looking at it and going "hmm, this has a SATA disk" ? it isnt like disks are tiny and they have to scan a board for some obscure IC. disks are friggin huge.
Come on. Have you never seen a system that came in a case, and you didn't know if it included a disk, or how many of these?
if it were a system that wasnt mine, sure. but if i'm expected to actually develop on it, then it cant be a black box. so no, i dont think it's unreasonable to have people who actually be using the hardware know what is in the system. -mike
