Memory Information?

[Razor]

Linked ISA BUS at $0290
Linked VIA VT8237 SMBUS at

Scaning SMBUS at $0400

device found at $50
device found at $53
device found at $69
device found at $6A


Maybe this information?

Okay i know this isn't probably it but tell me where can i get.Maybe some program that reads info or some asm would do?

Since i don't know how speed fan can access it without datasheets it's a freeware project BTW.

Okay i read it but it dosent show how to get information if you know i mean it only shows only information about smbus bus.

I get ????? all over the place why is that?


On the debug page it says:

Load from...
Scan PCI
PCI not found or uknown
STOP PROGRAM!!!

Read before download:

Zitat von SMBUS Inside Monitor DL Page:

Read and Write SMBUS. Read PC temperature, Fan speed and voltage. Work only with Intel 82801 and 82371AB/EB (PIIX4). Asus 99127F or Winbond series.

The problem is the chipset to access the bus and (as you can see at the last sentence) the monitor IC. You need the documentation. And that an application is freeware will not follow that the author gained free access to hardware documentation....

Another example: The author of motherboard monitor (MBM) has discontinued his application, because it is an enormious work to support every new hardware, IC, etc. Also he can not give the code to another author with more time, because he signed so many NDA's to get the informations and also work hand in hand with some manufactures (where he got internal information) so he can not publish the source code. It is really not a simple thing - there is it quite easy to collect all the CPU informations (e.g. CPUID codes, etc).

Do you have any idea where can i get that documentation,how did speedfan's author did it?

[Muetze1]

As I wrote before: You can the documentation directly from the manufactures, but not all offer them.

Intel: public available for download and also free shipping in printed form for the chipsets
AMD: public available for download, partly after registration or validation as hardware manufacturer
VIA: no public informations. Detailed informationen on chipset etc only as validated hardware manufacturer and with a (not small) fee.

Only to name the big ones.

And see my editions on my earlier posting...

Ill mail Speed fan's author and we will see what goes from there
