In case of SMBus: I'ts part of the Philips i2c 2-Wire-Serial-Bus. It was 
developed especially to control tuner modules in TV-Sets which is applicable 
to PC-Tunerhardware (Brooktree e.g.).
Also newer Mainboards (round since Intels BX Chipset)use this slow but easy to 
integrate and very robust bus to communicate with their "health" sensors like 
the lm78 which implements temperature sensors, rpm-counters (fan), and 
voltage meters.
