It works perfectly well on my TP380D. You must have a FAT partition for
it to work though, obviously.

IBM did "something" to all their BIOSs when Win98 came out, with the
result that ThinkPads locked solid when coming out of suspend. As has
already been stated on this list, undefining APM_NOINTS fixes this problem.
Now that I have workarounds for the floppy and the sound (which involves
getting the apmd beta version to unload and load the modules) I don't
think there is any problem left at all with APM on the TP380D.
