Thanks Ivan, We do have a Maxim device on the board (Superb little things - I try to put one on everything I design), but we also need some human readable labelling (don't ask me why - ISO90000000000 (or whatever today's new quality initiative is called) nonsense!).
I'll keep thinking. Steve. As an aside, and at the risk of causing offence, is it just me or is every QA inspector a failed Engineer? Every time I get audited they always say 'Hey, I used to be an Engineer'. Well, I am an Engineer, and can't fathom why anybody who wanted to do engineering, and was good at it, would want to move into QA inspection. I'll stop now - My blood pressure is on the rise! > -----Original Message----- > From: Bagotronix Tech Support [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 05 June 2003 14:22 > To: Protel EDA Forum > Subject: Re: [PEDA] A little OT - PCB labelling > > > Maxim makes some silicon serial number chips.
