I suppose I could've put in for one along with the other samples I
requested...oh well.  Building an RTC out of the DS2480B will be more of a
challenge. :-) 

(In addition to that and a DS18B20 temperature sensor, I put in for a switch
(DS2405) and a couple of chips (DS2480B and MAX233A) to interface 1-Wire
parts to RS-232.  With those, everything can be controlled through a serial
port...the fridge-control software could then work on a IIc or IIc+ as well
as a II+/IIe/IIGS.  I'll probably still go with running everything through
the game port, though...while I have a spare Super Serial Card gathering
dust, the hardware design ought to be simpler for game-port I/O than for
RS-232 I/O.)
