The board in question is 10+ years old, but it does have a 5 pin SMBus header. The board is the legendary Abit BP6. Unfortunately the manual doesn't provide the pin assignments for this SMBus connector, though it does for all the other connectors. Strange. Could you suggest a few inexpensive models of such lm-sensors compatible SMBus based hardware monitoring devices containing, say, 1-3 thermal sensing circuits (with probes/lead wires), and maybe a few non-PWM fan RPM sensing/driving circuits? Also, will lm-sensors and the sensors user space program work with two monitoring chips simultaneously? Does anyone know if phpsysinfo will, or can with additional tweaking, display data from both devices? > Still, I am curious why nobody thought of manufacturing a hardware > monitoring system in PCI format.

I will be one such person, if it turns out I can't get an SMBus monitoring device working in this system, or if such a device is cost prohibitive. -- Stan _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
