Before hot plugging stuff, you should make sure that the interface standards specify that it can withstand such abuse, as, for instance, serial ports can: even many of the external ports on the back of your computer are risky candidates for this sort of thing (you should query or search an appropriate newsgroup for the details of what will work safely -- this whole thread is off topic). Even so, you can't expect to remove or install, say a serial mouse, and have the thing work automatically, without reconfiguration (in some cases, there are programs that can automagically reconfigure hardware, usually only during bootup).
