Well, I called the toll free Toshiba tech support at the beginning of this
year and I asked exactly the same questions that you asked.  The answer
that I got at that time was that "the engineers are considering different
configurations for the 100-pin connector" and the guy "speculated"  that
some kind of docking station is likely.  Regarding ports for ext. monitor
or hard disk etc., he said he really doesn't know which peripherals will
be supported.  Also, he said the internal modem is going to be 2400 baud
(sigh ! I was expecting higher speed).

I haven't called again since then.  If anyone wants to call the tech
support, here is the no. (I think it is for the northeast parts of 
the country) 800-999-4273.  If anyone eventually gets answers to
some or all of the above questions, please either post them or
send me an e-mail.  Thanx !
