Abstract
A computer system has a communication link (e.g., a bus) and a removable circuit card that is inserted into a connector. In association with a change in the electrical state (e.g., one or more signals being disconnected or connected) between the removable circuit card and the connector, at least a portion of a predetermined communication cycle is furnished to the communication link.
