[ltp] TP 760 Suspends on boot

[the Professor]

But you can use a disk manager to do a bios translation to use the larger
disks.  IBM website says as much.

I haven't tried it yet, but I am hopefully going to be soon.  It does make
sense tho since you could use the larger than 2gb drives with a disk
manager on a 386 with win95a
