Nope, didn't work as well. I wiped the disk and tried all combinations,
starting with a small DOS partition at the start of the disk (<32MB), a
larger partition (<64MB) etc. pp. Depending on the size and position, the
utiltity sometimes was and sometimes was not able to create the suspend
file, and then sometimes I was able to suspend-to-disk from DOS, but on
wake-up, it never again found the suspend file on the disk ;-(. Now I'm to
believe that indeed it just doesn't work with "unusual" disks.
