ABSTRACT:
An interface to a removable device includes a power monitoring device that can be used to quickly detect if a removable device is present during boot up or start. If the removable device is present, the normal startup sequence is performed for the removable device. If the removable device is not present, the startup sequence skips any further startup sequence for the removable device. In some embodiments, the power draw of a device may be used to detect that the removable device is ready, rather than waiting a predetermined time before assuming that the removable device is ready.
