Thanks Rik, that was a great idea. Swapped the
chips tonight and I now=20
have a working plotter.
I sure hope other chips don't die.
No specifications of this chip? Maybe someone could create a functional=
replica on PLD! :)
Err, no. Logically, the devie is very simple (it's simialr to the
74LS245) but the problem is that one side of it does not work with TTL
levels. It's a level shifter too. And very few (if any) PLDs can handle that.
