Here are my own comparison notes of some says ago: * 8-bit VID instead of 6-bit * No VIN4 (I don't know which one this is in the driver) * Additional critical limit for the 3 temperature sensors - part of the automatic fan speed regulation interface This was only after a quick glance, I could have overlooked something, but all in all adding support for that chip should be pretty straightforward. > The datasheet is available by request > only.

I do have it already, our Winbond partners were kind enough to share it with Rudolf Marek and me. But I cannot send it to you without the express agreement of Yuan Mu or another Winbond representative, as the datasheet is not public, as you found out yourself. > I'd be happy to add the support.

So I think we have a great opportunity if David does have the time to add support. Can I share the datasheet with him? He already contributed to our w83627ehf driver, I think we can trust him.
