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.
