Cool, I didn't know you were running OS/2 on your 750.
I can't answer your question, but how much memory do you have?
What kind of battery life are you getting under normal use and
in suspend mode?
I recently bought a 8MB upgrade from a third party vendor. Battery
life went from 5+ hours (mono 750) to just under 4 hours. Suspend
mode went from 15%/day (almost 7 days suspendable) to 45%/day which
doesn't leave as much battery as I'd like if I leave it suspended
overnight. I've got a 30 day money back guarantee on the memory so
I'm wondering if I should return it. I don't think it should be
eating this much power. What has your experience been?
Also, have you had any flakey behavior under OS/2 (besides video,
which I'll chalk up to the drivers being v1.0)? Every once in
a while it'll hang when I take it out of suspend mode, and about
1 time in 4 ctrl-alt-del will reboot the machine w/o flushing
the cache.
Maybe we *should* make a mailing list. :)
