Resume problem on older Toshiba Portege

[Phil Short]

Hello, All,

My Portege 7000CT will not resume unless the external floppy drive is 
plugged in.  Basically, it hangs with the display turned on, mouse and 
keyboard frozen, until the floppy cable (with attached drive) is plugged 
in. This occurs under 5.4-Release and all recent 5.x versions that I have 
tried. It worked OK under all versions of 4.xx (including 4.11) that I 
have installed in the past.

The 7000CT has a 266 MHz processor, and I have installed a total of 160MB 
of RAM in it.  The main reason that this is an issue is that the floppy 
cable does not seem very robust, and I suspect that the cable will break 
under regular handling.
