I'm presently working on s/w for a device that uses inverters as RS-232
drivers. The technique has the additional advantage that you can output a
1 to the latch, and the inverter flips it to the 'correct' level of 0 volts.
I didn't design the thing, but it has been a successful commercial device
for 7 years...
