7474's Dead d flops? whats the story on that?
Good question! I've also chased down several bad 7474's in my Imlac,
and I suspect some bad 7474's on a few HP 1000 series I/O boards I have
down in the shop.
Is the 7474 a 'dog'? I've know a few TTL parts that were pretty bad,
mainly counters though. But a latch?
This reminds me of a similar problem in the JC80 systems, where 74170
chips would fail more often than anything else. I'd sure like to know what
the cause of that was...
