Greg, I found some very cryptic notes that I took a long time ago with IBM tech support. One of the combinations was Fn + F11 then Fn + Enter. I'm not sure yet since testing the various permutations will take some time. What I should do is make up a cable with male and female power plugs and stick an milliampmeter to check the draw on ac power when in suspend. The 16 bit PCMCIA drivers, along with power.exe would cause a small chirp from the speaker before full suspend. I assume this was the sleep signal. If I removed power.exe the chirp is missing and the drain is back. I have looked around IBM's web site but have not found anything yet. This just seems like such a blatant oversight. Microsoft claims APM 1.1 on the 701 but this doesn't sound very "Advanced" to me. Regarding the battery icon and I assume you are referring to the small one on the right side of the menu bar, mine is a blue battery with red plus and minus signs on it. The amount of blue becomes less as the battery discharges. The battery becomes a ac line plug when being powered by wall current. In the control panel under power, I have the "Enable power meter on task bar" checked. Power management set to "advanced". Also under system properties under system is APM support showing? If so under properties the only thing that I have checked is "Enable power management support" everything else is unchecked. If you still have problems you might try reinstalling win95 making sure that APM is selected.
