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?

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.
