Pali,

Makes me wonder - does the assembler code tell you what to do
if the reported temperature is invalid, and does it distinguish
between error codes ? So far we have
	0x99 - presumably a spurious error
	0xc1 - GPU temperature sensor, GPU turned off

It would be nice if we could find a better solution for error handling.

Thanks,
Guenter
