Reading Data from ISA BUS

Asked by felixyo in Microsoft Programming, Kernel And Operating System Specific Programming, Windows Programming

Tags: ISA, Temperature, Windows XP, Motherboard, Fintek, Hardware monitor

I need to access some temperature information from mainboard .  The information is in a Fintek Chip (F71872F )   and I know that this information can be accessed via the ISA Bus . ( Speed Fan application shows the address on ISA Bus is $290)  . My question is : How I can get this data programatically (The data on the ISA Bus) .

Accesing this data I could get to the three temperature sensors that this chip contains . I've got the datasheet for the Chip but honestly I don't know how to get to this data from a high level (Windows) .

I need to access this information on Windows XP , I am using .NET C# in my application but any other language that can get this information would be useful.

I have tried other methods but don't work for my purpose : For instance the mainboard has four temperature detections (three from the Fintek Chip and another one ACPI detection )  I can get the ACPI temperature via WMI but this temperature does't update  when the system is runnig : It's always the same , so it's not useful for monitoring the system .

Any Ideas about this issue are apreciated .
