So... suppose for a moment that there's no viable
commercially
available part for making a bus transceiver with the proper
specifications.
Do any of us have enough Q-smarts to make a bus transceiver from
discrete transistors? (I don't.)
Do any of us have enough IC layout smarts to design a transceiver SSI
chip from raw transistor layouts on an IC? (I don't.)
Me either.
I'm just wondering about what happens when the
current candidate for
substitution also becomes unavailable...
I do think I could make a Q-bus receiver from a linear IC, like an
"ultra-fast" comparator, pretty easily.
