Hi George,
Don't believe the Austron manuals and schematics when it comes to parts. The 2100T/F is a mish-mash of 74C, 74LS, 74HCT, and 74HC parts. It appears as though they picked the family to change the delay time specs, and fix race problems.

I didn't have the guts to pry out the large lcd display on the austron 2100. But I now realize the problem with its display.
Whats happening is noise from the ttl logic is falsely gating the cmos lcd drivers. This is a common engineering mistake when interfacing ttl to cmos logic. The recommended fix is to use an HCT part (74HCT240) as a bridge between logic types. Also I believe pullup resistors were another recomendation for interfacing ttl to cmos.
Anyway I will keep the net advised as I eliminate noise in the austron 2100 display.
