I BEG your pardon. The 9300 series are at least MSI, therefore hardly
"old." The older members of Fairchild's CCSL (tm) (two points for
remembering what that stood for) TTL-DTL families are the 9000 (not 9300)
series, small-scale integration (SSI).
No, we cannot begin to talk about truly "old" TTL unless we reach at
least to the Texas Instruments 5300/7300 series (that's 3, not 4)
with vertical-PNP input devices (the 5400/7400 came later, of course);
or conceivably the Sylvania SUHL I and II families, though those may
be as recent as 1970 and therefore more or less modern.
A purple plague on these short-sighted notions of history ...
