In 2004 you (Jean Delvare) wrote an e-mail that I picked up on a google 
scan.. The short story is that I'm looking for an "HF T/R chip" (3-30 MHz) to 
integrate in to a project I'm working on for a communications project.. Who has an 
HF chip?  Regards, Charlie

(Many, many thanks to the FNAL for nedit! I simply couldn't live without
it. You might not have suspected it so far but you have actually been
sponsoring the lm_sensors project for a while ;))

The W83627EHF is most probably a variant of the W83627HF or THF, so it
would be a Super-I/O chip. Since you already have an HF chip it wouldn't
make much sense. Unless of course the HF is a misdetection and is
actually an EHF. Without a datasheet we cannot say.

We could probably take a guess if you would provide dumps for all three
chips:
isadump 0x295 0x296 (assuming that the Super-I/O chip is at 0x290)
i2cdump 0 0x2c
i2cdump 0 0x2f

One of the I2C chips is obviously an "alias" of the Super-I/O chip, this
should help find out which actually is.

The W83792D sounds much more credible to me. Again without a datasheet
we cannot confirm. However, Winbond themselves are working on a driver,
and said they would release a datasheet soon. Let's just wait until they
are done.

Stay tuned! :)

First of all: you are writing to a mailing list here, not to an
individual.

The "HF chip" mentioned in this ticket is the short name for a Winbond
W83627HF chip, which is a PC Super-I/O chip with hardware monitoring
functions, as you probably would have figured out by yourself if you
had made minimal search on the topic. The "H" standands for "hardware
monitoring" and the "F" for "Flash".

This doesn't appear to have anything to do with the "HF T/R chip (3-30
MHz)" thing you are looking for.
