I do Serial and ADB all the time.

"Cliff told me that he could insert a disk controller card into
Burrell's Apple II with the power still on, without glitching it out,
a feat that I thought was miraculous - you'd have to be incredibly
quick and steady not to short-circuit any of the contacts while you
were inserting it, running the risk of burning out both the Apple II
and the card. But Cliff said he'd done it many times before: all that
was required was the confidence that you could actually do it. So I
crossed my fingers as he approached Burrell's Apple like a samurai
warrior, concentrating for a few seconds before holding his breath and
slamming the disk card into the slot with a quick, stacatto thrust."
