In the end,
all it took was a single 74LS00 to do the trick on
changing the
strobes to conform.
I suppose I could have used an 8 pin ATMEL chip, but why bother.
Sometimes the
"classic" solution is MUCH easier.
Well yeah...anyone who would replace a single 74LS00 with a
microcontroller would certainly earn a "moron" sticker on the forehead.
