But, if you mean 74-series logic in general, I think
so. Sometime
within a year or so of '78, I was working with the stuff, and it was as
an undergrad, so I doubt I would have been working with just-released
logic.
74xxx logic dates from the late 1960s. There are plenty of production machines
from 1970-1972 that are full of it (P850, various
PDP11s, HP2100A, HP98x0, etc).
So I think the OP must have been thinking of particular parts and their release
dates.
