As written, ASB100 works well enough for me. I've heard some Athlon owners found another register that gives better CPU temps, but I haven't seen a patch for it. Rudolf, don't be afraid of the code! Since you have the docs, you're way ahead of the rest of us. You can send patches to sensors version 2.7.0 or from latest 2.5 kernel. Either way, I can test them and then take over from there. > I'm no law specialist, for sure.

There's no way I would ever sign an NDA unless it's paid work - and even then it depends on the terms. </offtopic> Regards, -- Mark M. Hoffman mhoffman at lightlink.com
