I have tried safe suspend, which is a work around in the event that the battery swap causes a loss of power, but at the price you pay for an IBM I don't want a work around that wastes disk space and battery life for reboot. So I prefer to be able to use suspend either from the start menu, closing the lid, or the Fn+F4 key combo. Right now I'm trying to determine Win95's and its APM's compatibility with this non-disruptive battery swap feature. I have a .txt file from IBM's site that discusses upgrading to Win95 on ThinkPads and it indicates that the 701 is fully compatible with APM 1.1. Do you have any trouble with hot battery swaps? Thanks for the input. -Greg A.
