After reading the LM75 and LM77 data sheets, and a part of the SMBus specs, it turned out that my understanding of how the word-mode works was bad, as was my understanding of how the registers are "cycling" on these chips. So I may be plain wrong, the LM77 may be well detected by our code and useable as a LM75 without anyone seeing any difference. So I won't touch anything. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
