Is it OK to sub a 74LS04 for a 74LS14?
Can anyone explain the difference between a "regular" inverter and a "schmitt trigger" inverter? I've read the Wikipaedia page, but I still don't get wat the benefit of the Schmitt trigger version would be in a circuit for inverting a CPU's R/W line to active EPROMs' OE lines...
 
Schmitt triggers have very fast rise times. They are typically used for squaring up a signal such as inputs from a light gun.

You can try to 04 in place of it but it may have strange effects on an enable line.
