TTL substitute for DTL

I've got a piece of gear here with a bad MC858P used as a bus driver--terminated in 220/330 ohms at the far end. Given that old DTL is a hit-or-miss proposition, I'm proposing to substitute a 7438 OC buffer. Pinout's the same, as is Vcc. Before I get out the soldering iron, any "don't do it" tho

Looking at my inventory, I seem to have no less than four spare M8266 (plus one in my 11/34 that runs, plus probably another in my 11/34 out in the garage.) Rod, where are you located? JRJ On 2/9/2022 6:16 PM, Rod Smallwood via cctalk wrote: Hi     We have narrowed the problem down. Its t

Hi, I have 4 pcs. IDT49C402 Bit Slices, it is no problem to find a datasheet for that chip..but it is an problem to find the pinout for the PGA84 Package. In all Datasheets that I've found only DIP68, LCC/PLCC68 PGA68 and CERQUAD68 are listet.. Has anyone a databook newer than 1989 where the PGA8

I hope you are not thinking it would test an Intel 4004 or a 8008? That would be a stretch. For the 4004, there is only a narrow range of frequencies it runs under. I'm not that familiar with the 8008 but suspect it has similar restrictions. Both use dynamic registers. Both use PMOS voltage leve
