Hey where's RTL? 914's, 923's etc etc
 Sure I'm familliar with the concept, but only from
 an overview standpoint.  Just what is it with DTL vs
 TTL anyway?  Why didn't they use TTL from the
 start?  Was it a eureka genius thing or did it take
 advanced transistors to make it possible?
 A quick answer would suffice, we got too much
 bandwith as it is. 
I suspect TTL was harder to fabricate
There was non-integrated RTL and DTL logic before ICs not sure about non
integrated TTL...

 This question for me dates back to the early 80's
