+.Sh NAME
+.Nm aps
+.Nd ThinkPad Active Protection System accelerometer
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "aps0 at isa? port 0x1600"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for several sensors found in some ThinkPad laptops.
+.Pp
+The sensors currently exposed via the
+.Xr envsys 4
+interface are:

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver first appeared in
+.Ox 3.8
+and was then ported to
+.Nx
+5.0.
+.Sh AUTHORS
+The
+.Nm
+driver was written by
+.An Jonathan Gray Aq Mt jsg@openbsd.org .
+.Sh CAVEATS
+Few issues can be mentioned.
+.Bl -bullet
+.It
+The
+.Nm
+driver does not maintain state and subsequently does not take
+evasive action when it thinks the hard drive is in danger.
+Possible actions would include spinning down the hard drive
+in case excessive tremor is detected by the sensors.
+.It
+The Y axis on X40 and possibly other models seems to be inverted.
+It is unknown how to distinguish between different versions of the
+accelerometer to compensate for this in the driver at this time.
+.It
+The sensor values are refreshed every 0.5 seconds.
+Because no protection measures are taken,
+this is unnecessary and may have a negative effect on battery life.
+.It
+As IBM provides no documentation, it is not known what all the available
+sensors are used for.
