1.  I generally run my T1200H with the hard disk constantly powered up.  I
rarely use the floppy.  I "always" run in high-speed mode.  I have no extra
memory board or built-in modem.  I find that I get approximately the 2 hours
that Battery Watch says my usage should get.  I have a second battery pack
that I carry with me.  I almost never run out of power on *both* batteries.

2.  The floppy controller in the T1200 machines is not capable of driving
the 1.44MB floppy.  I asked the same question on Compuserve a year ago.
