The driver reports selected and actual +frequency. If spread spectrum mode is enabled, the driver also reports by what +percent the clock signal is being spread, which should be between 0 and -0.5%. +All frequencies are reported in KHz. + +The ICS932S401 monitors all inputs continuously. The driver will not read +the registers more often than once every other second. + +Special Features +---------------- + +The clocks could be reprogrammed to increase system speed. I will not help you +do this, as you risk damaging your system! -- cgit v1.2.2
