Dear colleagues! I have to write some hardware monitoring and controlling software (it's currently for Win32 - ops. =)), exactly air- or watercooling thermoelectric system for CPU cooling. It seems, best way to do it is to monitor CPU temperature and on some threshold value use fan controlling circuit to turn it on/off. I've done ISA-bus reading, (I've had ITE it8705f on my Gigabyte GA-7VTXE+), it's pretty easy. But I have brains (or whatever I had inside =)) melted with SMB access. Can you give me some hints about how should I start? I have some MBs with Via686a. Thank you anyway! -- Best regards, Roman mailto:red-lynx at nm.ru Moscow Inst. of Electronic Engineering
