The 'smapi' BIOS driver provides an interface and I have a read only 
utility that can pull info:  ftp://ftp.jurai.net/users/winter/smapi.tar.gz

I wasn't able to get 'write' functions to work; instant reboot.  Since the 
laptop I was testing against (560E) isn't usable anymore I haven't played 
with it recently.

I'd love it if someone was able to find the problem.
