Apologies for what might turn out to be an annoying question.
Is it possible to build a NOR gate with 2 inputs without having the inputs pulled high by default (i.e. have them "float")?
Can this be done with discrete components such as transistors, resistors, diodes, chicken wire and a couple of rubber bands (chicken wire and rubber bands optional).
In case I have defined the problem incorrectly, my understanding of a NOR gate is that the output is high only when both inputs are low.
I have looked at a number of NOR circuits (for example this one: **broken link removed**) but in all cases the inputs are pulled high by default.
Or is the concept of a NOR gate with 2 floating inputs irrational?
Thanks in advance.
