Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] net-enabled microcontrollers for applianc es, VCRs, stereos

["Aaron Littich" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I found a website selling them: http://www.ibutton.com/TINI/

The spec page is here: http://www.ibutton.com/TINI/hardware/index.html

They also sell a identification device that can be read/written to via
magnetics called ibutton, seems interesting as well.  Its a memory chip
basically thats armored in stainless steel, looks somewhat like a watch or
cmos battery.
This is java powered as well, probably uses some variant of the the dallas
chip.  This company also makes accesories to put the ibutton on...such as a
class ring-type thing, watches, key rings, etc..

This is really quite the innovative product imho.
