JB suggested off-list that I should mention that inserted letters in
7400-series chips are usually not significant for our purposes.

For example a 74LS138 is just a 74138 that uses "Low-power Schottky"
implementation while a 74HC138 is one that uses "High-power CMOS". Some
of them can't be used together for impedence-matching/power-consumption
reasons, but they are identical at the logic and pinout level -- which
is (AFAIK) all the Verilog will encode anyway.

Letters at the beginning are probably manufacturer codes (I'm not
certain, though).

Letters at the end usually indicate package codes. When the 7400s first
came out, they were all in standard 0.3" wide, 0.1" pin-pitch
through-hole DIP packages. But many of these are for various "small
outline" / "surface mount" packages which are a lot more compact. I'm
discovering that there is a bewildering array of these, though.

Anyway, they should still have the same arrangement of pins.

Cheers,
Terry
