As I couldn’t find a transparent latch with tristate output, I’m going to try a 74hct257. This also avoids inverting NADS.

Also want to experiment with multiprocessing two sc/mpII.

I’ll add a schematic when I get a bit further, if anyone is interested in reviewing for mistakes.
Sounds an interesting project that joins two of my favourite chips maybe we can start a new thread over in Homebrew for it could you not use the 81LS95 - they seem fairly plentiful on the second hand market and are contemporary with the SC/MP designs?
