question (for Jim, maybe)

OK, this is a nice tiny-logic open-collector buffer...

So why does it claim to have a complexity equivalent to 105 fets?

probably the ones needed for input proection, etc., adding to the
complexity...

They are all connected in parallel.

Maybe, that was my first thought. But there are a few
issues. First, the output-current capability is not any
higher than other standard gates. Second, that'd be a
form of "cheating." Sort of like the trick of counting
unused transistors in radios in the late 50s early 60s.
