I don't think so.  NT automatically migrates a WinNT 3.51 or Win3.1/3.11
setup,
but it doesn't seem to touch a Win95 installaition.

Yes.  I ran my 760CD for a full two hours by using maximum power
management.
Suspend/Resume (with Mwave) works fine too!

The drivers on the IBM site offer quite a bit more resolution choices than
the Trident driver on the NT4.0 CD.  There are now 15 modes to choose from
insteand or 4.  However, 800x600x65535 is still limited to 60Hz.  Under
Win95 I get the same resolution at 72Hz.
