This chip is pretty neat, with various temperature and fan speed sensors
and a built-in ISA bus interface. It even stores the POST codes that get
written to 80h in a bit of memory for later reading. Most of the stuff
there is just ripe for 'cat /proc/sysmon' (or whatever), and it can also
generate interrupts to signal of things like fan failure or chassis
intrusion.
Has anyone looked at what would be required to support this in Linux? It
looks to be pretty simple if you know ISA hardware interfacing. (I don't,
so it doesn't look terribly simple to me.)
