+ Voltage measured on the chip pin.
Actual voltage depends on the scaling resistors on the
motherboard, as recommended in the chip datasheet.
This varies by chip and by motherboard.
Because of this variation, values are generally NOT scaled
by the chip driver, and must be done by the application.
However, some drivers (notably lm87 and via686a)
- do scale, with various degrees of success.
+ do scale, because of internal resistors built into a chip.
These drivers will output the actual voltage.
Typical usage:
in7_* varies
in8_* varies
