I tried to find a calculator that would show the power ratings required
for a R2R ladder fed by 8 5V/8mA TTL outputs, to no avail. That'd be my
only concern, as don't the CPLD output drive quite a bit of current? I
can't tell whether one can safely assume that since the impedence of the
R2R is 10K, that the most current output would be 3V3/10K = .33mA and
thus 1mW of output. That seems low to me...

:-) There's also a youtube video of some guy cleaning one, but it's got
360px resolution so it was no help...
