        Now that's one I've _never_ seen, at least not on a hardware
schematic... (I understand the ! is used to negate in certain deranged
programming languages whose acCursed name shall not be spoken aloud,
though. :D )

        Just about all of the Radio Shack service manuals for their TRS-80
machines used it, which is probably where I picked it up in the first place
since most of my first digital-electronics projects involved trying to
connect sound chips, joysticks, etc. to my Model I. :)

        The overscore method is still far more common, to be sure, but the only
place I'd ever run into the / designator on a regular basis was in the
component libraries which came with Eagle, so I figured it must be a
European convention. :)
