Back when I was less gray I used to fiddle with C:\debug and poke around in 80286 BIOS code. I made a cool little Bio Feedback gadget by copying and rewriting the game port adapter code, then hooking my nifty little unregistered, non-integrating RVT (Resistance Voltage Time domain) AD converter to a couple of nickels soldered to wires. QBASIC provided a running graph and I was off to the races. It would even pick up my heartbeat as it slowly shocked me with 12v. So, could one do the same in this situation, or is a multi meg bios too daunting a prospect for poking around these days. It's been a long, long time for me (1992). Since there are possible legal issues with contacting the MFG I'll wait a spell and see what else comes up. -Tom _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
