The original article of this hasn't wandered into zoo yet -- either we've
got a propagation glitch or it had illegal headers and never made it --
but insofar as I understand the problem out of context, have you considered
a faster TTL family like 74F?  74F is probably going to be less hassle
than getting something like a PAL blown.
