[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] I'm replacing a CMOS chip with an nMOS chip. Should I worry?

----------------------
The PD I/O expantion board I just built dosent work, and the current
thing to try is to replace the chips. The board uses a R65C22p1 CMOS
VIA, a R65c52p1 CMOS DCIA and a MC4F139 IC.
I've gotton ahold of a number of R6522p nMOS chips, and I'm going to replace
the CMOS R65C22p1 with it. The only difference I can see is the power
disipation. The CMOS chip is rated at 7-10 mW/Mhz and the nMOS chip is
rated at 450-700 mW.
Does this make them incompatable?

Also, I'm going to try and replace the MC74F139 with chips lables
74LS139. The difference being LS vs F.  I think LS means low poew
Shottsky, but what does F mean, and can I interchange the chips?


Thanks for the info,
Charles
