PCISLEEP
(ver 12 mar 2005)
Abandoned Freeware


PCISLEEP can "put the computer to sleep" by turning off the 
CPU and certain PCI/AGP devices (to save energy).  You can 
also get a report on the PCI/AGP devices in your computer.  

Type PCISLEEP for a list of switches. Note that no "desktop 
state" is stored, or caches are cleared, before sleeping. 


Caution: 
Advanced Power Management [APM] works poorly under DOS.  Many 
memory managers will balk at allowing the CPU to be turned off.
- Some VGA cards wake-up from "S" in an invalid mode, where 
you can only see a blank screen (you can though still enter 
commands or CTRL-ALT-DEL blindly).  Utilities like "MODE CO80" 
can reset the card back into your preferred video mode.
- Some displays will loose sync when using "V". While you can 
still enter commands blindly, about the only way to restore 
the sync (if you don't have a display reset) is to reboot.
