Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Is this possible?? I have mod mpc2000 classic with SCSI/IDE bridge ACARD AEC-7720U and IDE CF Card Reader... The same CF Card Reader I have installed in my mpc2000xl and it's 100% HOT-SWAPABLE but in 2000Classic not.
I have O.S. 1.72. Of course Card Reader in my 2000 Classic works fine but it's doesn't work with HOT-SWAP option.

I have the same card reader like mikemix viewtopic.php?f=1&t=67154&hilit=mpc2000+card+reader&start=60

Enybody know something about it??

p.s. sorry for my bad english.

I believe his is hot-swappable because of the SCSI-to-IDE bridge he is using - the Akai IB-ID2SC. It appears the Acard doesn't support the same hotswap feature. I'm guessing on this - the problem could be the MPC2000 but I doubt that because all the SCSI CF drives I've sold for it have no problem hotswapping cards.
