So you don't have any FAT16 partitions?  Also, it doesn't supprise me that
suspend/hibernation doesn't work under Memphis; I'm sure it was that way
when OS/2 2.1 and DOS 6.x's APM support just came out.

One question also, how is battery life under Memphis?  I heard that Windows
95 and its predecessors don't completely shut down the processor like Linux,
OS/2 (and I think NT), so does that take a big toll on battery life?

And what have the IBM tech support people said, if it's even worth calling them?
One thing I wonder about is if they're told to give "dumb answers", so as not to confuse
us or not to give us "secret" information.  IBM seems to be like that sometimes.
