Power management override for portable computers

摘要: Method and apparatus for selectively overriding a prepackaged power management driver of portable personal computer so that data transmitted to the CPIU by device, such as “real time” serial communicators device connected thereto, is not lost during CPUs latency “wake up” period following CPU power-down operation. An override system stored in memory comprises an flag which may be set or cleared user computer. If set, then prevented from reducing occurrence thus potential loss avoided.
