Hey Barry,

Thanks for the feedback!  I'd been thinking along the "mode switch" lines
myself, with a timeout to force all the slaves back to "general call"
mode...

Would you care to elaborate on your 10-bit addressing approach?

Were you thinking of doing something simliar to the two-addresses approach,
but with a toggle between 10- and 7- bit modes (instead of actual address)
on some signal from the master...?

Best regards and thanks so much for sharing your experience,
Aaron
