I'd like to get power management working from FreeBSD 2.1.5 on a T1850
laptop.  The problem is that the APM BIOS Interface isn't in the BIOS,
it's is a file `apm.sys' that's loaded by M$-DOS (this makes it fairly
useless to me).
 
Does anyone ahve the specs on the T1850 power management hardware, or
(better) written some code to allow FreeBSD to support power
management on an 1850?
 
Regards, Peter
