Sounds weird. But something I can't test / run into: My board doesn't even
have a PS/2 port.

Uh, does this mean that both chips share the same ID? I get the same output
from superiotool:
    Found Nuvoton NCT6775F (B) (id=0xb473) at 0x2e
My chip is labeled W83677HG and I vaguely remember that I saw on a web page
that this is a NCT6775F. But I can't find the page anymore :(
Also, W83677HG sounds more like NCT6775F than NCT5572D.

Thanks,
Nico
