cheap ds18b20's, are they legit??

[Archangel]

If anybody is interested in my test code... I would be happy to post it. I used a 16F690 on a Microchip LowPinCount demo board with pickit2. You can see all nine sensors lined up 3 x 3 on the breadboard.

I would say Please post your code, someone will find it useful, I will archive it as an example in MY Computer, for sometime in the future, I am sure I will not be the only one. BTW I use those demo boards too . . .
If the chips actually work, I doubt they're counterfeits, it would not surprise me if they are old or not RoHS compliant.
Order 2500 at mouser for $2.09 each . . . I am getting even more sure of my opinion about old stock . . . and those You have shown, Look Old too . . . http://www.mouser.com/Search/Refine.aspx?Keyword=DS18B20&Ns=Pricing|0&FS=True
