yeah, i'm gonna take a hack at it. reading the info shouldn't be hard. it's just a couple of ISA IO ports (usual "address" and "value" stupidity). it can do interrupts to either ISA or SMI. i haven't checked for certain, but i'd put a six-pack of beer that the BIOS programs it for SMI interrupts. at the moment, i'm trying to print the LM78 data sheets (on www.national.com as a PDF file) but Acrobat generates broken postscript!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR..... i may have to fire up latest ghostview to get it printed!! BTW - has there been any thought to using the SMI mode? it essentially gives you one mostly-virtual processor. -mo
