No, it's a Toshiba and it doesn't go into suspend: it actually turns off completely. See:

Also, it actually works with 6.06, 6.10, and 7.04. It fails with 7.10 and 8.04.
I didn't try disabling ACPI, which is a good idea in any case, but it'll have to wait for a
month until my father comes back into town since I don't have access to the system. My dad's
a long-time computer user/etc. but... I don't feel comfortable trying something like this
long-distance.
