If you take one 74xxxx inverter chip and make an Xtal oskillator of one of
its inverters everything is OK. What happends when you make 6 Xtal
oskillators with different frequencies of those 6 inverters: You got  lots
of noise but nothing you wanted. You have so small chip that the
inverters hear each other.  (1MHz < f < 4MHz)
How on earth it is possible to make these multimillion transistor
processors work without troubles if one tiny 74xxxx has troubles in this
kind of simple thing ?
