YMMV.  Enjoy, and let me know, it does still need some work.

Hi.&nbsp; I got bored last night (freakin' business trips) and wrote an ACP=
I driver to
handle hotswapping of IDE drives and batteries (yeah, I know batteries
don't need much support, but was annoying to not be able to see my
ultrabay battery if I didn't boot with it in).
<br><br>It works well on my T22, but I'd like some adventurous souls

just about anything, not just Thinkpads, but I'm not sure.&nbsp; The ACPI n=
amespace stuff needs to be hardcoded in, I took the secondary master namesp=
aces from the ibm-acpi module and added the one I saw on my home (desktop) =
machine...&nbsp; so it ought to at least work for all thinkpads.&nbsp; I'm =
sure other systems would need additions, though.
