Maybe I don't understand well this schematic:

http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/schematics/computers/pet/univ/8032081-06.gif

Does it mean that on 40-c the inverter input remains floating (ok....
TTL, can be) and the inverter output (UD2 pin 10) is connected to
another output (UD3 pin 5) ?
That doesn't sound healthy to me.
