So in any case I take the safest/most "correct" way would be to just tri-state my outputs, while - in order to avoid potential issues with longer lines/wires - adding somewhat stronger (say 33k?) pull-ups on my own? -- SD! - http://e4aws.silverdr.com/ Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2017-04-22 16:02:02
