Yeah. So someone at Commodore thought when they designed one version of
the PET. We had a few that erratically misbehaved. It turned out that
one input on a 74LS00 (I think it was) was floating, and switching noise
made it erratic. Floating inputs place the internal circuitry in an
intermediate state, can cause increased current draw, typically slow the
device down by increasing switching times, and can cause misbehaviour.
TTL is supposed to have a 1K pullup (to limit possible transients);
LSTTL can be directly connected to Vcc.
