Reading external voltages

[scsiguy]

Would like to display some external (to case/mobo) voltages
on the 634 along with the MBM readings. Am using an Abit
KT7 which has an SMbus (I2C compatible) available for use
with some DOW sensors, or at least that's my impression.
From what I've read on MBMs' site, most of the sensors that
they support are for temp readings. Would MBM pick up the
data via the SMB (using the VIA 686A chipset) as it does for
the other voltages or am I barking up the wrong tree?

thanks

DOW might be a little complicated...

Several maxim ics (MAX6655 comes to mind) have ADC for voltage monitoring. I have one here with only the temperature legs wired up at the moment; I can give it a try and see if it will work in MBM though. the DOW stuff may be trickier and require some coding for MBM.

Hey pHaestus....

any luck with trying out the 6655 IC as you had
thought about doing ???

There is an sppendix in the 633's data sheet that describes connecting a DS2450 ADC to the DOW connector of the 633. Would that help?
