I've had good luck with the Microchip MCP130 series and the Dallas/Maxim
DS1811. I have an older design using a MAX691, but that might be marginal
at 5V--reset pin spec is 7mA typ, 20mA max.  All the designs have the 820
ohm reset pullup, of course!


I was severely burnt by a '707 (not Maxim) chip on an HC11 run once...none
of the 100 boards would work, and it turns out that they were actually '807
silicon marked as '707 devices!  The manufacturer didn't want to believe
me, until I faxed the pages from my lab notebook and sent some of the chips
to 'em.  Got a fresh tube of factory tested parts for my trouble.
