I read about the 5V problem on R Pi before I got my first one so have checked my various wall-warts by measuring the 5V right on the Pi under load. This can be done on pins on the GPIO connector, see

One of my recent lessons learned: a lot of small devices have a mini usb connector for power. And they consume around say 500mA. And the cheap usb cables, even the short ones have so little copper in them that 500mA may cause 2-300mV drop on a 6in cable.

    Well. It would certainly be interesting to understand THAT failure

    Thanks for getting back to us and letting us know your solution.
    So many times you never hear or someone just says :N/M I fixed it.

    Just to let you all know I sorted this one.  New power supply for the
    Raspberry Pi was not good enough for the job and could no cope for some
    reason when I added a long cable to the 1-wire network.
