If you keep using the TP, when the battery gets too low it should
automatically go into suspend (unless you've disabled this feature), at
which point you can swap batteries - there is an internal NiCd battery
(right next to the extra memory slot) which will keep your machine alive in
suspend for a few minutes. I've occasionally gotten this to work without
going into suspend (i.e. my TP was running without a battery in it) but I
haven't figured out how I did this.

I'm still don't understand WHY in this world of CD-ROM drives, extra hard
drives, tape backups, scanners, etc. PC notebook manufacturers still insist
on using IDE. I too would almost immediately buy a port replicator with
SCSI, although I'd much rather have it built into the machine.
