Why did the SIG re-activate the Hot-Plug workgroup?
The original release of PCI Hot-Plug was intended to provide a specification that would allow broad industry implementation and offer a great deal of latitude in the design of hot-plug controllers. The workgroup is being re-activated in order to develop a single-standard programming model for a hot-plug controller. The PCI Hot-Plug specification 1.1 and PCI standard Hot-Plug controller will be approved by the board at the July 25-26 board meeting.
