No offense taken, you're absolutely right. Besides, I read the IBM
website a little too quickly last time :
|Version KZET34WW (1.16)
|(New) Enhancement of the battery control.
... this, indeed, could mean anything and be quite relevant to this case.

I've always been weary of BIOS updates, particularly when there's no
support (but no lack of very good documentation, I'll admit) -- no
floppy, no DOS (and no available partition to put one on), a flaky
CDROM... and my one and only chance at mobility. I just can't afford
to risk hosing that machine.

As I was just experimenting with ACPI, I won't risk it. APM works fine
enough for my needs. The day I have no other choice, I'll take that
chance -- but not now.

Thanks for the reply, in any case.
