RE: [misterhouse-users] newbie to the DS9097 / one-wire game...

[Paulsen, B. <BPa...@le...>]

Finally, one other thing:

Every time (twice) that I've ordered from Dallas Semiconductor, they tell me
that they are back-ordered on the 18S20's for about 2-3 months.  

What I have learned is that they supply other companies (such as PointSix)
in quantities of 100,000 or more.  Usually, they have shipments come in and
they have some extra chips left over after sending out the order.  They use
these extra chips to sell to people who place small orders over the phone or
website.

Both times that I've ordered, I've gotten the chips with 2-3 days after I
placed the order even though they said they were back-ordered for several
months.

Also, the current version of mh doesn't support the 18B20's.  I'll be
putting in a fix for that.
