I do have SMBUS installed, but it doesn't detect the hardware monitor, at
least not that I can tell in dmesg.  The only I2C device in there is the
Brooktree 848 card that Intel gave me a while back..

Ok, I disassembled the program, got nowhere.  But when I disassembled its
DLL, I found two string refs..  "National LM78 Compatible" "Winbond
83781D".  I'd assume all of their boards are the same since this Super
Doctor program comes on the installation cd with the boards.  Can't seem to
find any technical specs on the board itself aside from disassembly..

I did the perl thing a few years ago.  Been using it ever since for a lot
of various things.. Direct interface into the monitors would be a good
addon to a runtime status page certainly.
