I'm trying to design a simple GAMEPORT to MIDI adapter/cable. However, the original design specifies the 74LS00 which I think is used as a buffer:

I'm not using Rxd (MIDI IN to the GAMEPORT) so I don't need that side of the circuit.

However, I can't fit the DIP package into the DB15 housing. I did find several SN74LVC1G04 SMD components in a spare parts bag. Can I use two of them together (with the resistors) to accomplish the same function as the 74LS00?
