SM Bus Controller Driver for Lenovo ThinkPad X220i

If you are installing Windows on a Lenovo ThinkPad X220i and wondering (like me) why the Lenovo drivers don't seem to work for the SM Bus Controller, have a look at the following link.  In case you are wondering, the SM Controller is a motherboard chipset that monitors temperatures and voltages (SM = "System Management").

Mini Punch-List (updated)

Current list of things to sort on my 1975 Mini Clubman:
  • Speedometer - currently not working, have a second one (and now a third one) but not much luck so far;
  • Windscreen wipers - currently not working, now have a working set in the shed to try;
  • Doors - rusty and in a state of disrepair, newer rust free doors require stripping, preparing, painting and fitting;
  • Numerous small body repairs - usual stuff for a 42 year old car.
  • Clutch hydraulics are non-functional...
