The FIRST 1999 Release of ThermoProtect! :)

Now ThermoProtect V1.12 is available on
hobbes.mnsu.edu/pub/incoming/tp-112.zip

and later it will be moved to
hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/mboard/tp-112.zip

Freeware now and forever! :)


New Version Highlight :
=======================
The LAST Text Mode version, GUI version is coming SOON! :)

*The "Traditional" Beep warning have been replaced, because the
 warning beep is too easily disabled by setting the system sound's
 warning beep to Disabled status... Now I use the OS/2 API DOSBeep
 to provide warning sound that is highly unlikely to be disabled by
 other programs/settings. And while I'm at that, I also give the
 program two distinct warning sound so you can tell either it is
 the temperature or the fan's going wrong.

*Different Chip numbering scheme is in place, now I'm assigning
 chip numbers to each chip myself, because different vendors
 with different chip numbers are making it difficult for me to use
 their own chip/vendor number.

 They are assigned in the following fashion:

 1:   Winbond W83781D.
 2:   Winbond W83782D (not quite sure if this is functional now).
 99:  Unknown Winbond Enviromental Monitor.
 101: National Semiconductor LM78.
 102: National Semiconductor LM78-J.
 102: National Semiconductor LM79.

!The first temperature probe's warning sound was missed in the
 earlier versions, now it is fixed.


REQUESTS!
=========

If anyone have access to Winbond's W83782D chip's datasheet, please contact
me, I'm trying to make ThermoProtect compatible with W83782D chip.


Error/Bug Reports:
==================

If this program is giving you a Vendor ID but saying that it can't identify
the chip... please do the following...

 *MAKE SURE you do have a enviromental monitoring chip of some kind.
 *Check if the output from ThermoProtect is making sense or not (ie +5V
entery showing +8V is NOT making sense... :) )...
 *Check your motherboard manual and record down the model and the make of
the monitoring chip.
 *E-Mail me the data... :)

Thanks! And have FUN! :)
