I need to program PALs, which have been replaced nowadays by GAL. Apparently lattice Semi makes a program to convert the files from PAL to GAL. So that appears to be covered.
I was potentially looking at EasyPro 90B.
Well and good enough. So then the question becomes what programmer should I buy? Interface isn't a concern, what is a concern is reliability. Not using a laptop, so power supply is not an issue either.
Would like to be able to program:
GAL/ possibly RAL (where GAL doesn't work, RAL is supposed to work as replacement for PAL).
EEPROMS 27 series.
Also, wouldn't mind being able to test 74 TTL series chips either...:-)
Would like to stay below $200, about $150 preferred. I am a hobbyist doing the odd job now and then. I used to repair arcade /pinball machines (did that for 16yrs, but not regularly anymore), hence need for PAL compatibility... but no access to the shop I used to work at as it is in SoCal :-(.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Regards,
Ted |

Most importand the the programmer supports your chip. You may need to download the software and make sure your chip is listed in the supported device list from the software. |
