    151 Hardware monitoring chips are often connected to the SMBus, but often they 
    152 can also be connected to the ISA bus. The modules in this package usually 
    153 support both ways of accessing them. 
     151Hardware monitoring chips often have an SMBus or I2C interface. Some are 
     152connected to ISA bus instead. Some of them can do both, in which case we 
     153either support both access methods (old drivers) or only support ISA 
     154access (new drivers) as it is faster.

    155156Because the SMBus is just a special case of the generalized I2C bus, we can
