After components in some of our VAXes were fried after a power outage one evening (the air conditioning units in our machine room don't automatically come on when the power comes back on), our DEC FE showed us the >>>SHO POWER command on our 8650's, which shows the temperature of several thermistors. Are these temperature values kept in some machine registers somewhere that a program (possibly with the help of a UNIX kernel) can read? Mark Plotnick allegra!mp
