o Dual TIL 311 hex latching displays accessible
as output port 4
when in run mode.
Have you considered, say, a small GAL-type device driving standard
7-segment or 5x7 displays instead? I just checked Jameco's web site and it appears
that the TIL 311's
they sell (at $12 each) may indeed be "production-line" parts
still being made new by Ligitek. If so, this is a Good Thing!
I located more than one source for used TIL 311's for much less than $12.
They are still several dollars each, but under $10. I wasn't worried about
_those_ as much as some of the others.
