        Oh, BTW, just a nitpick for future reference... :)

        When referring to an active-low signal by name, the preferred
nomenclature is to put an asterisk after the signal name -- i.e. G*,
RESET*, IOW*, Q*, and so on. Using the word "not" can get grammatically
confusing; the above question _could_ be construed as asking "Aren't these
IC pins 'ground'?", which obviously isn't what you meant. :)
