The following list is a sample list created by IBM Corporation.
This sample list is not part of any standard IBM product and is
provided to you solely for the purpose of assisting you in the
development of your applications. The list is provided "AS
IS", without warranty of any kind. IBM shall not be liable for
any damages arising out of your use of the sample list, even if

OS/2 ADVANCED POWER MANAGEMENT SUPPORT FOR LAPTOP COMPUTER
SYSTEMS
==================================================================
Every laptop has its own unique set of power management
features (i.e. blank screen after x minutes, press special key
sequence to go to standby or suspend mode, automatically go
into suspend after x minutes of inactivity, etc.). If a laptop
uses a DOS power management device driver to provide these
features when running real mode DOS, they will not work under
OS/2. If these features are implemented in the laptops
firmware they will continue to work under OS/2 whether the OS/2
APM support is installed or not. Once OS/2 APM is loaded, the
OS/2 power object is available and provides the ability to
determine power source, battery life, the ability to suspend on
demand, etc. (see power object). If OS/2 APM support is not
installed, users cannot perform these additional features.
This does not have any impact upon the features that are built
into the particular laptop.
* Laptop Computers compatible with OS/2 2.1 Advanced Power
Management will have 16 Bit Protect Mode APM in the BIOS.
* Laptop Computers that have 32 Bit Protect Mode APM will
require fix PJ08807 with the OS/2 2.1 base. (OS/2 2.1 GA has
support for 16 Bit Protect Mode APM. The PJ08807 fix simply
adds 32 Bit Protect Mode APM support to OS/2 2.1 GA.)
* Laptop Computers that have either 16 Bit Protect Mode or 32
Bit Protect Mode APM and have OS/2 2.1 with Service pack
(XR06200) will require PJ12413. The PJ12413 fix corrects 32
Bit Protect Mode APM support in OS/2 2.11 (XR06200).
* Laptop Computers that have "No APM support in BIOS" or only
have Real Mode APM are not supported by OS/2 2.1 Advanced Power
Management since OS/2 is a Protect Mode only operating system.
(Note: OS/2 does not support the Real Mode APM since the OS/2
module VAPM.SYS does not emulate the APM BIOS in a VDM
session.)

The following list identifies LAPTOPS computers that have
Advanced Power Management support in conformance to the APM 1.0
Specification (dated 1/91) and includes the level of APM
conformance. (Note: Systems with BIOS dates prior to January
1991 will not have the protect mode APM support in their BIOS.)
Laptop computers that do not have any APM support in their BIOS
are are also identified. The following list of laptop systems
is incomplete and represents only the systems tested as of
April 19, 1994. This list will be updated as additional
systems are checked for OS/2 2.1 APM compatibility.

IBM L40SX - Discontinued product. No APM support in BIOS.
Would require extensive hardware changes to support APM. For
OS/2 2.1 APM, access the IBM BBS and download the following
three files: 1. TGSFX.COM (located in file area 4) 2.
RFL40SXA.TG0 (located in fila area 27) 3. L40PWR.ZIP (located
in file area 37) Execute the TGSFX.COM to install the
TELEGET.EXE program. Then create a new L40SX reference
diskette by using TELEGET.EXE to unpack the RFL40SXA.TG0 onto a
1.44MB formatted diskette. Use PKUNZIP to unzip the
L40PWR.ZIP. Then replace (i.e. COPY) the files IDLE.EXE and
PWRMGMT.SYS onto the newly created L40SX reference diskette
with the ones obtained from unzipping L40PWR.ZIP. Reboot L40SX
with resulting reference diskette in the A: drive and
configure with APM. Verify the APM configuration with the view
configuration, exit configuration and do a power up reboot to
OS/2.
IBM P/S NOTE, Model 2141 - No APM support in BIOS. This is a

there (i.e. APM not installed.) Remove the following two APM
device statements from the CONFIG.SYS: "DEVICE=C:\OS2\APM.SYS"
"DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VAPM.SYS" Delete these two files from the
corresponding hardfile subdirectorys. This gains about 1
second in bootup and frees up hardfile space.

- TBR. No APM support in BIOS. Requires the Toshiba APM
driver (OS2RES.EXE) available from the Toshiba BBS
(714-837-4408). This Toshiba APM driver will provide partial
power management capabilities under OS/2 2.1. Toshiba
Documentation claims compatibility with Microsoft power
management spec. The T-4500 has power saving keys option keys
on the keyboard that will work under real mode DOS but not
under OS/2 protect mode. It is unlikely that Toshiba will do
anything to provide power saving capability in the BIOS for
protect mode operating systems.
Toshiba T4600, T4600C 486SL/33 Monochrome, Active Matrix Color
- No APM support in BIOS. Toshiba BIOS V1.30. The Toshiba APM
driver (OS2RES.EXE) available from the Toshiba BBS
(714-837-4408) is not required. Toshiba claims the built in
power saving keys on the T4600 will work with any operating
system since the power saving functions are in hardware.
Toshiba feels power saving options are not required in the
BIOS. While running OS/2 you can use the special power saving
keys but the additional capability of OS/2 protect mode APM is
not supported.

Twinhead Corp. SubNote 486DX/33 486DX/33 Monochrome - Has Real
Mode APM, 16 Bit Protect Mode APM, and 32 Bit Protect Mode APM.
Does not have the CPU clock slowdown feature. On systems with
OS/2 2.1 base apply PJ08807. The OS/2 APM calls into the BIOS
APM once per second to check if it is OK to do a suspend. The
Twinhead SubNote BIOS (Phoenix NoteBIOS 486/OPTi463 Version
1.03 and PhoenixMISER V2.0) does not return the OK to suspend
on these OS/2 APM calls if there is any video display
activity/changes for the duration of the CMOS suspend timeout.
The battery level is not operative since the popup "Unknown
Power Source, Unknown Battery" is displayed by the OS/2 APM.
