Is it possible for an NMOS device (in this case, a 68000) to utilize CMOS
(74HCxx) interface circuits? The data sheets say that Voh from the 68000 is 
_at least_ 2.4 V (and at most Vcc), but an HC device wants at least 3.15 V to be
happy (@Vcc=5V). 

Can I safely assume that the 68000 lines, if connected to "only a few" HC
inputs (and no power-eating LS-TTLs), will be able to pull the voltage level up
to a value acceptable by the HC circuits? 

Or do I have to resort to HCT devices? I don't like the idea of adding another
dozen of chips just for the sake of level-shifting. It would be much easier if
those HCT devices came in all flavours and not just in the
buffer-and-latch-related ones.. (actually, they seem to be _fabricated_ but 
not _sold_, at least not by the dealers I usually use) 

Similary, would an LS - or better ALS - device pull up to CMOS levels when
connected to only one or two HC inputs?
