Thank you Ekkehard, for your kind words.
To answer your last question first, you could use the "feature request" on
Sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/p/owfs/feature-requests/ but few
people seem to do it. Most mention it here. What do you have in mind?
I think the problem with serial devices is not just listing them, but
rather the danger of randomly poking at them to see if they are a
recognized 1-wire bus master. I don't know of any agreed safe way to do it.
That's why USB with identifying fields is better -- reading those fields is
safe.
