Thanks for the tip!  Just ordered samples of the DS1233 5V EconoReset chi=
ps
from Dallas this way.  Expecting 2 free samples in post sometime in near
future.  I agree this service is much better than having to order a minim=
um
quantity from somewhere like Digi-key just to try a part out.  A few time=
s I
have done this and ended up with a part that turned out to not quite fit =
my
needs.

In my experience, they give you exactly two, and you don't get any choice=
 in
the matter.  You also have to tell what project you are using it for.  Of
course, you could make that up.

I think it is a great service.  Half of the time I just want to try out a
part to see if it fits my needs, and this way I don't have to order a bun=
ch
of stuff from Digikey (to get around the $25 thing), just to get the one
part.
