Kapusta,
I know the list has been going back on forth on this for awhile, but
have you actually tested that Win98 w/ a BIOS extender or W2K or Linux
will STILL suspend at the 8GB point?
I would be happy to check, but don't have the tools or knowledge.
BTW, one sitaution where the libby will suspend even if disabled is if
it overheats.. BTDT.
