It's IBM T20 P3 700MHz, 256M RAM, 12G HD, Mandrake9.0. What I meant by 'hot swap' is replacing cdrom by floppy drive in T20 bay on the fly (there is just one bay so you can have either cdrom or floppy drive in). I found on www.linux-laptom.net this ain't working but you can first suspend it, change drives and wake it up. It works but ... sometime after wake up LCD is out of sync so I switch to other console (ctrl+alt+f1) and even there I see screen devided to 3 section vertically and has prompt 3 times. When I try to switch back to KDE, I either find it ok or still out of sync. The same happens when I suspend it by closing LCD few times during a day if I have to go somewhere.
