I've found these, which appear to be a subset of that:

Basically, they're geared toward the nForce3 (shoulda guessed by the
filename )

These are the ones that worked on my nForce2:

SMBus 4.04
GART 3.77

The ones that failed were:

Ethernet NRM (which looks like it's geared for the firewall stuff in the nF3
250)
IDE (which appears to be the same version as available seperately on nVidias
site)

So not very interesting for me, anyway. And not many people own a nF3 250
yet.

Er... good question

As far as I know, the SMBus is a low speed serial bus, usually used for
diagnostic/informational purposes. I'm fairly sure that your fan
speed/voltage sensing chips are hanging off of it, among other things.

Might be worth googling though.

Basically, it's >SMBus is the System Management Bus defined by Intel®
Corporation in 1995. It is used in personal computers and servers for
low-speed system management communications<.
