You understood my question perfectly.

I've since checked the circuit (not just read text descriptions...) and you
are correct. I was thinking to simply use a DIODE and have the device drive
the line high when not needed. I can never remember which way to face the
DIODE, but do you think that this will be enough to avoid pulling on CNT1
and SP1?
