No, that isn't what I mean.

Under the 1.30 BIOS, closing the lid would cause NeXTSTEP to *try*
to go into suspend mode, but it would just hang NeXTSTEP, because
apparently the BIOS wasn't capable of dealing with 32bit mode. It
seems that the 1.40 BIOS has fixed that.

BTW, how do even disable just suspend mode anyway?
