Yes these boards will be for cherry mx switches
I believe the 542 keyboards work in reverse of the 600 keyboard were the bit is set when key is pressed

Hi Guys,

I need some advice. It's time for me to order a bunch of IC's for the boards in my C4P Replica. Many chips are designated non-LS in the Sams documentation. eg 7474 or 7417 or 7400 instead of 74LS74 and 74LS17 and 74LS00. I know LS means "low-power, schottky". What is the difference? Should I substitute LS parts? or order non-LS parts?

Please advise.

I have use ls parts in all boards and have not noticed any problems, you wont find non ls parts as easy.

Sadly, no. The MX switches have different solder masks, and alignment holes.

The LS parts will almost always be a good replacement for the originals. They have similar propagation times, the same voltage thresholds, and lower power requirements, so your machine will run a little less hot.

A bit late, but...

TTL LS works as a replacement for TTL especially if all chips are LS. However TTL can source & sink 2x as much current as LS series, so for things like bus drivers in a loaded C8P, you may be better off with TTL. LS can't drive as many TTL gates when mixing families.

Here is an old Nuts & Volts article describing the different families, and some more detail can be found in ON semiconductors description of TTL & TTL LS families. Generally I use whatever I can find in my parts box (mostly 'LS).

Some of my parts arrived, so I built up the 582 backplane board.
