Now that I've been looking at things again, I think that I might have found 
a better buffer than the one I mentioned above.

Looking at the datasheet for this one, it passes data when the OE pins are 
high, and blocks when it's low. So to me, that would be more ideal because 
when the BBB is powered off/disconnected, the OE pins would be low, so it 
would be blocking. (For the other buffer, it is blocking when the OE pins 
are high.)

A quick question though - for the VCC connection, should I power this 
through an external 3v3 supply, or will the 3v3 supply of the BBB suffice? 
I know that the OE pins will be powered from the 3v3 supply on the BBB, but 
wasn't sure if that should also be the case for the VCC.
