It is my recollection that they were six inverters. The 5402 I believe were the quad two input NAND's. There were a couple of dual flip flop chips to choose from as well, but I am sure that I have long since forgotten them.

As I remember, the 5400 series was a real advance, because the RTL implementations that they immediately replaced were a bit more finicky with the funny power requirements. Plain 5 volts was just easier. But even those 5400's could be damaged more easily than I care to remember. It's been so long ago, I could easily be mistaken about the numbers.

Exciting to think that there were on the order of 10's as far as transistors were concerned and today, I'm not even sure that they can come up with a count that is within 10.
