Semi-OT: IDE & SATA to USB "dongles"

[dwight elvey]

Hi
I have 9xx DTL in my Nicolet 1080 and it runs on 5 volts, not 6 volts.
DTL can, for the most part be replaced by TTL with the same pinouts.
That is except one case. I don't recall the number but there is a DTL
gate that can be expanded externally with more diodes to create
a wider input.
I built an electronic dice using RTL once. RTL runs at 3.6 volts.
It used a number of jk flops and drove some small LEDs that were
aranged like dice. It ran on a 9 volt battery through a regulator.
It flattened the battery in just a few minutes of operation.
