If I get the gist of what you are saying, and I'm not terribly
sure I do, then more than likely capacitors are out. More
than like so are resistors. It sounds like the sort of circuit
that could be wired-OR, using signal diodes. It would be
very helpful if you could give a lot more detail, even down
to chips and pin numbers, so that the list can get a handle
on what it is you want to do. We've all asked bunny questions,
don't worry about it
