Do you have any part numbers? I looked on Mouser and found cables and
fiber optics only...

Thanks David, Laurie et al for your replies. It sounds like the
pseudo-poly-AT idea might have some merit, so I will probably pick up
one of the resistive sensors and have a play with it (for those
interested, they are made by Spectrastrip and available from Mouser in
the US and - less comprehensively and more expensively - Farnell here in
the UK).

Cheers,
