Hi Scott, Measuring 1-wire traffic is done connecting your oscilloscope ground to GND and measuring DQ. no special probe needed. Normally, quality oscilloscopes provide enough ground isolation, and Tektronix certainly is. I use the LA (logic analyser) function of my oscilloscope to verify protoco

I confirm that at least ds2406 is working OK with both pio.byte & bits on my nslu2 platform. However this is a debian-based slug (thus little-endian) with latest svn. This indeed seem to indicate an endianness issue. I will also check if I have a ds2408 avail to confirm with this chip too. Pascal
