Lets ask a different question: why do you think this
particular functionality is needed at all? Have you encountered any
problems which require it (I haven't, btw)?

Windows drivers do a lot of things, but it does not mean all of them must
be copied literally.

I would image using this to verify that stick is still in place on I/O
error.

If I just power  down/up it, it will loose state, for example IO mode,
reg range, etc...

But anyway, this isn't very important.

Best regards,
