Which is the better way to Write Protect memory? To prevent the RAMs' /WE (and /OE of course,) from going low when the RAMs' /CS and R/W =0, or by preventing /CS from going low altogether?

Is either way more vulnerable to glitches I might have overlooked?

Two-part 2nd Q: In the past I have battery-backed SRAM with a 74HC__ gate powered by +5v and the battery voltage in the /CS path, and that has worked well. I am wondering, though, if it makes any difference whether any unused other gates in the package are terminated high or low? Does it make any difference if other gates in the package ARE used elsewhere in the circuitry? Past experience tells me "No", so consider this question me double-checking with people who know more than I do.

Thanks.

Heh, has been 25 years or so since I looked into stuff like that .. all I remember is that static 2k and 8k RAMs were very forgiving for whatever timing I threw at them.
