Are you really still using  LM80 chips? These are pretty old and I did
not expect anyone to be still using them. And certainly not for new
designs... The device (at least the incarnations that existed in
1998-2000) was not reputed for its reliability...

Yes, we still have them and I need to support them (just like LM75).
(acutally we're using LM96080). They are not on my board, but we have external fan units that contain these chips, and my board needs to support these fan units.

Frans.
