Re: [68300] Centronics Printer on CPU 68340

2003-11-14 by Robert Yablonski

Be aware that you should not drive any line with 373 or 374 type 
latches.  These devices will interpret line reflections as instructions to 
flip the state of the internal flip-flops.  I know after shipping 5000 
units with the defect.  Always buffer with a 240 or equivalent to prevent 
your output latches from being effected by the driven element (line and load).
