I can do this on my Dell without suspending. You may want to try it out and save yourself a few extra steps. I use atacontrol to switch between my spare battery, LS-120, Zip250, and DVD/CD-RW bay modules regularly. I have just upgraded from 4-S to 5.1-R, and haven't checked functionality in 5.1 yet, but I expect it will work just fine when I'm ready to give it a try.
