If it's the stuff in sys/dev/ic/ds.h, it's the same one. It's the
interface Dallas call the "one-wire bus", and that they use in the iButton
stuff they're pushing now. An MI driver for this (if only for a
single-device bus) would be nice to have.
[ Incidentally, the A5000 etc seem to use either the DS2400 or DS2401,
which ISTR are identical for our purposes. ]
