Could some electronics guru provides some URLs for authentic buffered
FET logic and/or direct coupled FET logic ? Thanks in advance.

Google "74HC application note". 74HC is always buffered (but there is the
occasional 74HCU which is specifically unbuffered). Ditto for 4000 series
logic, CD4001BE is buffered, -UBE is unbuffered.

Like GaAs DCFL, the GigaLogic stuff? That was depletion load, I think,
like old-old NMOS stuff. Power hog.

Yuck, GaAs logic. It sounds like a good idea, until your signal has to
change back.

Silicon PMOS aren't terrible, good enough to make high speed CMOS with.
They're almost impossible to find discrete though. I haven't been able to
find a P type 2N7002 for the same price.

The suckiness of PFETs is directly related to the bandgap. Silicon is
moderate, so PFETs are okay. GaAs and GaN make shitty PFETs. I can only
imagine how poorly SiC and diamond PFETs will work, when they come along.
I suppose they may already exist in the laboratory, I don't know.
Curiously, this seems to imply that Ge-CMOS would be quite nice indeed,
but the leakage is something else.

You mean PMOS as in P-channel MOSFET? Is that enhancement mode? There are
certainly quite a few P channel enhancement mode MOSFETs around, I tend to
use the BSS84 as a P-channel equivalent of the 2N7002. They are pretty close
in price, certainly not significantly more, and multi-sourced.
