Guy’s I’d rather not get into the GAL burning business, just ordering and shipping this number of board is a real chore.
Gary if you could do the GAL’s that would really be great. I’m not sure how you want to handle it, get a bunch from Jameco and send via US mail would be the easiest, I suppose.
I’m up to my eyeballs in stuff here with more boards coming, spending more time on that hopefully will provide more users with much more to play with. Worse still I a bunch or travel trips due.
As I outlined previously the reality is that most boards from now on will require one or two GAL’s. They are dirt cheap and very easy to program with PALSAM. I highly recommend “users” get familiar with them.
For the real “die hard’s”, I also getting into CPLD’s. These are essentially super GAL’s. On the current 80486 prototype one PLCC based CPLD would replace 6 GAL’s. However in that case I’ll probably supply the chip since the number of users I assume will be less.
