Re: [mh] Best 1-Wire Adapter?

[Andy M. <myi...@st...>]

  Thanks for the advice Neil, Steve and Jeff.

  I am not too particular about USB or Serial, except that I have run
out of serial ports (including 2 PCI cards supplying 2 serial ports
each) so I am "trying" to use some of the numerous USB ports sprouting
from all sides of today's motherboards....

  I have ordered a couple of USB DS9094Rs. Hopefully the Dallas adapter 
will work fine on my network. My network has numerous long branches, and 
a badly designed star configuration centred on my patch panel..... such 
is the ad-hoc home network...... one day I will configure it better.....

Andy.
