My only worry about this method is that if my objective of using a CPLD (36
or 72 macrocell device) is to reduce chip count, then it is all kind of
defeated by having to buffer the outputs.... Some Xilinx chips were 5V
originally, but the supply I was to go through only sells 3.3V
boards/chips.....
