Great.  Winfans.  :)


Assuming you did want it under software control, it would need a reliable
way to interface with the OS.  Just monitoring the things with generic
tools is trouble enough with all the chipsets out there - having input to
the system could cause major problems if your software mistakes the Acme
FOO42D for a FOO42A and sends the wrong commands.

However...  there is some support, from specific chipset manufacturers.
