You do understand that when a machine hibernates, it
pretty well breaks all connections with outside I/O
devices, right?

You do understand that this depends upon how the driver
is written, right?

You do understand that this doesn't invalidate the
general truth of the previous statement, right?

You do understand it's not generally true, don't you? --
that it depends on the specific driver interface? You do
understand this, don't you?

Morein, three people (and its not like Sander and I agree about much!) and
a relevant Microsoft document say otherwise. I know that its against your
religion to admit that you're wrong, but you should really give it up!
True, but utterly irrelevant to the question. When a computer restores from
hibernation, all standard USB HID devices work: keyboard and mouse. So does
an external USB drive. Obviously, there are some devices that work, and some
that don't. Some respondents on this thread have asserted "Generally___".
This is not new information; it is not responsive to the question.
