Your comments on layout made me think again of how to implement these projects. How do you use a 14 pin SMD IC? I could try to connect it with flying leads but I'd like something better. Is there some kind of socket for these devices? Or a generic board to receive such things? Bob

AS (advanced schottky) and FAST (fast advanced schottky TTL) were the best for me. Modern inexpensive discrete logic however can do a much better these days. One interesting thing I learned is that the dual 4-input NAND pinout overlaps the quad 2-input NAND pinout so in a properly designed layout where only 2 gates are used, either part can be used.
