Ok. I asked Maxim Europe headquarters about this and got the response DS2404S
and DS2404B are still available in quantities 1000 and up within 5 weeks
after order. Don't think this will change soon.
There is no replacement part for the DS2404 yet, it was cancelled because the
factory producing it changed its machinery and a resonable stock was build up
already.
I think, for mere hobbyist needs, the available stock is more than sufficient.
Don't know if they still give away samples of that device...
Kind regards
Jan
