While waiting on Raspberry Pi I was looking for connecting 1-wire bus to  
it. Probably the easiest(apart from GPIO) way is to use I2C devices.
The only problem is that Raspi uses 3.3V I2C but Stuart Poulton published  
designs with few transistors that handle the different levels
http://raspberrypi.homelabs.org.uk/raspberrypi-1-wire-expansion/

But there is a new chip from Maxim/Dallas that does this conversion so you  
can have %v on 1wire and 1.8V or 3.3V on I2C. It comes in two packages  
SOT/6(this one's easy to solder)
TDFN-EP/8. I've seen it maybe a month ago but I couldn't get it anywhere.  
Now samples are available. It has strong pull up so it's suitable for  
parasite powered networks.

And I think a question for Paul is it supported yet? Maybe it's not so  
different from older I2C converter DS2482? Do You plan to support it in  
the future?
