	What is APM Mode? Advanced Power Management Suspended Ready
		The suspended state is a special low power condition that applies to your computer as a whole, and not the individual components.
		The APM definition of Ready only indicates that your computer or device is fully powered on, it does not differentiate between active and idle conditions.
		Because of the architecture of the APM BIOS interface, the APM BIOS cannot inform Windows 2000 that a request is a response to the user pushing a sleep button, to the BIOS sensing that the system is idle, or to the battery running out of power.

		The dialogs for Power Management for laptop are similar to those for desktop except for the addition of the Alarms and Battery Meter Tabs.
		ACPI has four power management states and are related to each other in terms of power used versus context retained.

	The Power Management Settings in your BIOS
		Power is reduced automatically to the devices and restored as quickly as possible when activity is detected (that's the theory, anyway).
		APM is responsible for shutting the system down on quitting the operating system, typically Windows '95, and other useful tricks.
		This is where circuitry is added to a battery pack to allow better power management, battery life and information for the user, such as time remaining.

	NetBSD Documentation: Power Management
		The core of laptop power management is centered around Advanced Power Management, or APM for short.
		It is via this interface that NetBSD receives APM events (such as suspend requests) or makes power management requests or queries (such as the current battery level).
		The apm daemon determines whether or not to accept this request, based on the current power source and the daemon configuration.

	apmd(8): Advanced Power Management daemon - Linux man page
		The APM subsystem consists of power-management hardware, firmware usually referred to as the APM BIOS and a driver in the operating system kernel.
		When the APM subsystem notifies the daemon of a pending suspend or standby request, apmd will run a proxy program, log the event, sync(2) data to the disk and then tell the APM subsystem to continue its operation.
		Usually this involves shutting off power to all devices except the CPU core and memory, which are put into a very low power mode.

	Linux HeadQuarters - Power Management (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		ACPI is the newer of the two technologies and puts power management in the hands of the operating system, allowing for more intelligent power management than is possible with BIOS controlled APM.
		The advantages to APM under Linux are that it's stable, well supported by Linux vendors and has a solid history behind it.
		ACPI Linux is newer than APM Linux, more flexible in responding to power management events, has seen much more development as of late, and as a result of all this is prone to its own share of bugs from time to time.

	TuxMobil: Power Management on Linux Laptops and Notebooks - APM, ACPI, PMU
		Furthermore, for APM to work with the Linux operating system, the system BIOS ROM must support either the 1.0 or 1.1 version of the APM standard, and it must also support 32-bit protected mode connections.
		We have seen a few of these recently, except all the others are in the power off code in the BIOS wher we can work around it by returning to real mode before attempting to power off.
		PowerBooks do not support the APM specification, but they have a separate protocol for their PMU (Power Management Unit).

	Power management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Power management is a feature of some electrical appliances, especially copiers and computer peripherals such as monitors and printers, that turns off the power or switches the system to a low-power state after a period of inactivity.
		The power management for microprocessors could be done over the whole processors or some fine-grain areas.
		This requires a file the size of the installed RAM to be placed in the system's root directory, using up space even when not in hibernate mode.

		Secondly, the APM logic is embedded in the BIOS, and it operates outside the scope of the OS.
		Thirdly, APM is a vendor-specific technology, which means that there is a lot of parity (duplication of efforts) and bugs found in one vendor's BIOS, may not be solved in others.
