Sun Fire 6800 - PCI or cPCI

Hi,

Sun sell both PCI and cPCI IO boats for the Sun Fire 6800. Are the PCI
cards hot swapable? The geometry of the cards must make it difficult.
Do you have to deconfigure the whole IO boat and remove it to change a
card or can you just deconfigure a single card?

Is cPCI a better choice? I know it costs more and there are fewer cards
to choose from but they are hot swap.

TIA,

Richard

Will summarize. I might post the summary just once this time too, not
three or four like last time (sorry abot that).
