I'm not familiar with the underlying architecture of the T1000, but if the fans
are not exposed normally to the OS, or if we don't have the programming details
for them, then it probably isn't realistic that we can do anything to help.
The 210 and the T1000 are totally different platforms, with different
underlying details such as fan controllers. :-)
