properly after you install a new device driver or software, use
ConfigSafe to restore the last working version of your system files.
Although it might not make your new hardware or software work, it
will set your computer up and running again. This application
protects your data.

BIOS for your computer on the ThinkPad Web site:

Title: C79FZMST CreationDate: 06/15/98 22:38:45
Updates and Corrections
Corrections Note the following corrections:
The Recovery CD does support Windows 98.
The Diskette Factory program does support Windows 98.
Using a PC Card You can use a PC Card without PC Card support software
(CardWizard). For details on how to use a PC Card, see the manual
for Windows 98.
In addition, if you are using a communication card such as a PC
Card modem or a network PC Card, you should not enter your
computer into suspend mode, enter it into hibernation mode, or click
on Stand by in the “Shut Down Window” window.
Note: If you want to enter your computer into suspend mode, first
stop the PC Card in the “PC Card (PCMCIA) Properties”
window as follows:
1.
Click on Start, move the cursor to Settings, and click on
Control Panel.
2.
Double-click on PC Card (PCMCIA).
3.
From the list, select the card you are stopping.
4.
Click on the Stop button.
If you remove a communication PC Card from the PC Card slot and
then reinsert it later, it might not work correctly. You need to reboot
your computer.
Using Power Management
For information about power management, see the
Online User's
Guide
rather than the
User's Guide
.
In addition, note the following:
Suppose you activate the alarm action as follows:
Notification: Display message
Power level: When the alarm goes off, the computer will Standby.
Now, if your computer enters into suspend or hibernation mode when
the battery is low before the alarm message appears, you see the
4IBM ThinkPad 385XD Guide for Windows 98

message when the computer resumes. To resume normal operation,
press OK.
Note: You can set the alarm action as follows:
1.
Start the ThinkPad Configuration program.
2.
Click on Power Management.
3.
Click on the Alarm tab.
4.
Put a check mark in the Low Battery Alarm check box,
the Critical Low Battery Alarm check box, or both.
5.
Set the percentage of the power level.
6.
Click on the Alarm Action... button. You can set the
alarm action in the next window.
Using Windows 98 In Windows 98, it takes longer to enter suspend mode and resume to
normal operation than it does in Windows 95. This performance
difference is a result of Windows 98, not the ThinkPad features.
