Hi Mick,

Thanks for the reply. I think I have the the source of the issue - it seems to 
be related to the quality of the power to the 1-wire bus. Last night I tried 
different things - soldering everything together, instead of using a breadboard 
and connecting to a known-good bus with 10 devices. The result was still the 
same - all devices were recognized by owfs, but the temperature was 127 degrees 
on all 10 DS18B20's.
Then I changed the power supply to my Beaglebone from being powered over USB 
from my Mac, to a standalone 5V DC/2A power supply, and the problem went away

The DS2483 is powered from the 3.3V and 5V VDD, from the Beaglone Black - this 
means that the 1-wire bus is also powered from the same 5V source as the 
Beagleboard

I didn't put a scope on the 5V supply, so I don't know if the level was too 
low, or there's some noise on the 5V supply. 

However, it seems it's possible to power the 1-wire bus in such a way, that the 
devices responds correctly to queries from the bus master, but fails to convert 
the measured temperature

Apologies for not replying before, just noticed the post again.  

The problem just went away, so I have no idea what caused or cured it.  
Sorry I can't be more help
