Mark,
I'm using a MiniDock. 8.1 on a 280c, 24MB RAM, *no* VM. What is a bit
surprising is that my version of Asant� EN/SC is 6.0.4 of Friday, July 19th,
1996, 11KB. That's what I got from the Asant� site.
Anyway, I will have the annoying task of remembering to switch AppleTalk
over LocalTalk if I want to have the 280c sleeping.
I still have to check the processor cycling, to see if that's the problem.
-Laurent.
