Thanks for the fast work on this!

Hmmm... yeah, I hadn't noticed that.  I wonder why they didn't just 
change the family code.

That will be nice!

I am guessing the answer will be no :(

Without having any real knowledge of the inner workings of 1-wire, what 
happens when you read bits 5 and 6 of the configuration register of the 
MAX31826?  The documentation simply says "-" for those bits, but they 
must return some value when read.  If they always return the _same_ 
value (hopefully 1's for backward compatibility) then it may be possible 
to test for a MAX31826 by writing something else there and then reading 
it back and see of the values changed.

That is kind of ugly but it it works would at least be easy to implement.
