61 | If none of these show up, you should look in the BIOS for settings like | |
62 | enable ACPI / SMBus or even USB. | |

64 | Except for the oldest chips (VT82C596A/B, VT82C686A and most probably | |
65 | VT8231), this driver supports I2C block transactions. Such transactions | |
66 | are mainly useful to read from and write to EEPROMs. | |

68 | The CX700/VX800/VX820 additionally appears to support SMBus PEC, although |
69 | this driver doesn't implement it yet. |
