I've been working on use of the thermal assist unit to control the
temperature of G3s.  A code fragment is below. This works to keep a
below-normal-spec chip at a junction temperature below the limit of 65C,
but is quite crude. In particular, I just made up the value of ICTC.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a good control stratgy for running
at constant temperature?
