Are these temperature >values kept in some machine registers somewhere that a program >(possibly with the help of a UNIX kernel) can read? Yes. The only problem is that we have not figured out how to get the EMM to speak up. Fred Blonder wrote a preliminary /dev/emm driver, but it does not work at all, and after reading the hardware register descriptions several times I still have not deciphered them. If anyone out there has working 86xx console-poking code, I would appreciate a copy, if possible....
