Future Electronics has come out with a mail order company called Future
Active.
1-800-655-0006.  Their price on the DS1820 is sky high.  1-9 pieces
$19.00 each, 10-49 pieces $10.86 each.  I am using a similar Dallas Temp
chip in an upcoming design.  It is actually a digital
thermometer and I2C ROM in one package.  I was quoted a volume price of
$5 a chip.  In quantity that is a good ball-park figure for all of the
Dallas Temp chips. Given the prices in the "Future Active" catalog, I
think I can do much better dealing directly with my local Future rep.  If
someone knows of cheaper sourcing please post it.  Thanks.
