It was interesting, useful and a PAIN. It sometimes made a huge differnce
if you subbed a S04 where there was an LS04.
Stiill 74xx family of stuff! Well almost now that CMOS has taken over,
we have a whole lot of custom tristate buffers and latches but not much

What about your aging aircraft like the SST that used 70's componernts?
HTL? I seem to remember that being in the ECG cross-reference / replacement
guide... :-)
Want to get even more obscure? I worked on some machinery a while back (QUITE
a while back :-) that used some logic parts made by Amperex that they called
"Norbits" -- these things were HUGE compared to normal DIPs and all of them
had an odd number of pins, typically 17 though some had other numbers. I
might even still have some data on those around someplace.
