driving a NMOS i/o line high is a big nono. just dont. its a common thing to 
do to connect several outputs together, forming a wired OR - when one of those 
outputs is driving high, the one trying to pull low will have a hard time 
doing it. even if it still may work, the signal timing will go poop
