The hardest part is finding parts for the FPGA, sure I
can use 74XXX
but was it out in 1975-76?
If you mean some specific 74-series part, well, it depends on which
one.
But, if you mean 74-series logic in general, I think so. Sometime
within a year or so of '78, I was working with the stuff, and it was as
an undergrad, so I doubt I would have been working with just-released
logic.
