The asmc driver first appeared in OpenBSD 5.9.

The asmc driver was written by Joerg Jung <jung@openbsd.org>.

Light sensor values may not be available on older products.

Acceleration sensors are not available and the associated interrupt handling is not implemented.

Besides the sensors, the huge amount of other functions and information available from the SMC is not supported.
