I'm back and did some testing. (Note: the chip I'm trying to provide a chip select for is a SRAM)
First off, the inverter stays high with a 5k load. Second, I did some voltage tests of my own and here's some interesting results I got:
1) With the SRAM connected to the original CS line (provided stock from the computer) everything seems fine. The inverter's output is 3.6v, and the AND gate's output (CS 2) is 3.3v just floating.
2) With the SRAM connected to CS 2 (see my schematic) like I want, everything drops. The inverter's output is now 1.6v, and the AND gate's output is 1.3v. So an exact 2 volt drop in those signals!
3) With the SRAM's CS pin just floating by itself, I get the same result as #2 with the gates.
Sounds like my problem might not be the gates after all since just simply allowing the SRAM's CS pin to float causes the same problems as it does connected to CS 2....
