Hi,
We are trying to make a slug restart after power-loss. For this purpose we want
to wire the "Alternative 1" as explained on:
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/ForcePowerAlwaysOn
Unfortunately, the Microchip MCP120 component is rather hard to find here in
France
(and our schedule forbids overseas ordering). But according to the wiki
page the Dallas DS1233 is an equivalent, and we did find the DS1233-10 to be
available for fast delivery in France.
According to the following references, the DS1233-10 seems similar to the
MCP120-450DI/TO:

But I'm no specialist of this kind of thing...
Could anyone confirm that the DS1233-10 should be a good equivalent?
Regards,
