Sorry for being so obtuse! Phrase meant: "wire OR/etc was very
common in RTL".
I tried wired-OR once in TTL, didn't like the results :-)
Wired-OR will work fine for open-collector output TTL. It will fail
miserably with totem-pole output parts. A 'battle of the transistors'
will ensue and one output or another will win.
