NAND MultiGate

"Circuits without a home" Case File- 473 I've nicknamed this one "RECKS" in memory if a childhood friend. It's short for •Robotitronic Emulationator: Canis Karnivorus Simuloid° Model 3.1415 alpha• , and the same name given to my imaginary cyber-puppy I kept as a friend and confidant for so many years. Ah, I shall always look back fondly on the times we shared together. But back to the issue at hand. What you see before you is four NOR resistor/transistor logic gates assembled in such a fashion as to produce identical results to it's cousin gate, NAND. But while recks may remind me of happier times, it is still quite inefficient in that an actual rtl nand gate could be produced with just a fraction of the components needed while taking an even smaller percentage of time. I think of it like a little dog with only three legs: never able to scratch that bothersome itch behind the ear, or wanting so badly to conduct its business at the hydrant on the corner but too embarrassed of what the other dogs might say. Just think of not being able to balance yourself well enough to bend 'round and lick your own!... Well you get the idea....
