Let me correct it now -- when I stated "I have the misfortune of having the Windbond W83687THF Super I/O IC on my Soltek motherboard (SL-B9D-FGR)" it was never my intention to indicate dissatisfaction with Winbond. That is simply not the case . For the record, I have absolutely NO dissatisfaction with Winbond, and no offense was intended in my prior post. I outlined in my response to Jim why I stated what I did, but to cut to the chase, it amounts to being little more then a statement of disappointment of not having native kernel level support for the chip. Now then, with any mis-understandings aside ;) : > Sorry I have not read the w83687thf spec before, It seems a similar chip > to w83627thf, Yes, that is what I gathered from the earlier thread found here: http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2005-June/012752.html > so I would like to give a patch to try make the driver > work first.

I will give it, and the info Jim provided, a go over the weekend. Regards, SK
