Indeed. I was actually thinking about this while I was playing with the SMB BIOS stuff, and in fact this is perhaps an interface worth considering. See http://www.sbs-forum.org/specs.htm for the SMB stuff, including the bus specification (closely derived from I2C) and the SMB BIOS interface, which you may choose to implement (perhaps with some augmentation) as the API. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
