The Z88 only uses one half of this dual decode chip. This circuit may be made with

  • inverters
  • 2 NAND gates

The inverters are slower than the NAND gates, so it was decided to use 5 NAND gates using 3 of the gates as inverters.

2 MSOP-8 AND 1 VSOP to IC adaptors were obtained in addition to the 5 2-to-4 Line Decoder chips.
This circuit could now be bread-boarded and tested outside the Z88 card case.
