Have you tryed HCT? I'd think that they're TOO fast for
eg the IEC bus and the Xx1541 series cables.

Certainly, most times I've seen them used that way, pains
were taken to slow them down.

I have sometimes wondered how well some HCT tri state buffers
wired as open collector would work (ie tie the input one way
and then use the tristate control for the signal) and power
them from one of the signal lines (they wouldn't be sourcing
any current to speak of)
