I agree that it would be nice if Linux could be made to work with
these new Windows 98-specific BIOSes.  Downgrading the BIOS may not
even be an option on the newer Thinkpads.

But if it's any comfort, suspend still worked in Windows 98 after I
downgraded the BIOS on the aforementioned 385XD.  (It seemed to have
trouble resuming when an E-Mu synthesizer card was inserted, but that
may be an unrelated problem.)
