Do the IC's HAVE to be VHC?

Why do you ask?
Will it work with different chips... mostly likely. Will you get the same range in terms of cable length... probably not.
If you use a different chip you are essentially conducting an experiment. Let us know how you get on if you decide to try.

I couldn’t get any VHC. I’ve have a load of HCT, HC & LVC in stock so gave them a try, the Amiga won’t even boot with any of those fitted. They will replace IC9 & IC10 though.
