I have started work on a WinBond chip driver (currently only the W83627HF chip) to provide access to the chips watchdog timer and sensors. I have never written a driver before and my C is rather rusty so I figured I would post what I currently have in hopes that some kind soul would take pity on me. What I have so far is located here: http://freebsd.tamu.edu/wbio/ The driver does attach and the watchdog timer works for the chip in my test machine running FreeBSD 6.3. TData sheets are here: http://www.winbond-usa.com/en/content/view/143/273/ Any advice, pointers, documents would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time... -- DaveD
