I have been asked to run a modifed 2364 adapter that allows pin 20 to be 
inverted on non-inverted.  I used a hct86 with a jumper to ground on one 
side of the gate to alter the inversion of the line.  It looks like 
there might be value in supporting a 2332 with a similar setup.

Thoughts?

The 6540 adapter I have uses a hct138 to support all of the select lines.
