I wouldn't expect the two designs to be identical at that

Just a thought
about the CPLD vs. TTL discussion: Would it
be possible to design the device such that it could be
built EITHER in TTL chips OR as a CPLD? With the same
I've done a significant amount of design with FPGAs (not CLPDs, though,
so this might be different), and my experience suggests that no matter
what the manufacturers claim you _can't_ take a TTL-based circuit, feed
it into the schematic capture program, and expect the result to work
properly. -tony
