Chipset: VIA Pro133T

VT82C694T north bridge + VT82C686B south bridge

AFAIU, the south bridge can be a source of SMIs.
Can the north bridge also be a source of SMIs?

What I/O ports do I need to write to, and what values should I write to these ports, in order to prevent the VT82C686B from sending SMIs?

Regards.
