I can certainly understand what you went through Sayzer. I'm sure glad we didn't have 5k of them.

With the chips dated from 1999, I'm hoping it was just a stock mix-up from when Dallas was bought by Maxim in early 2001. Probably got transfered as good parts, much like the OLD manufacturing equipment that was transfered at NEW cost. (I watch the Stock Market too much)

Well, only have 25 boards left to replace them on. But I'm definately waiting till Allied gets new parts before I buy anymore there.
