I own his BBS Documentary and Get Lamp movies. They are very good. I have contributed to the 6502 project and hope he can complete that one.

I'm not sure if this would beat it, but I ordered 2 1" x 3" double side PC boards made from www.batchpcb.com. It took 3 weeks to get them back, but they sent me 4 boards for $30 with shipping.

They aren't fast, but they seem to be very cheap.

They keep the cost down by combining multiple orders ...

Do the specifications tell how to program it yourself? My first EPROM programmer was home-made, and my PIC programmer that I still use for production is too. (And yes the PIC programmer uses the workbench computer's D/A converter so it can test at the voltage extremes, so it is indeed production ...

This programmer programs the ATF16v8b. I programmed it successfully, but haven't tested the chip.

So it seems PAL/GALS shouldn't be used anymore. I'll go back to regular logic chips. That's too bad.

Here is the list that they say is compatible:

PLD (GAL):
ATMEL========== nos=18
AT16V8
AT20V8 AT22V10 ATF16V8B AT16V8BL ATF16V8C
ATF16V8CEXT ATF16V8CZ ATF20V8 ATF20V8B ATF20V8BL
ATF20V8BQ ATF22V10 ATF22V10B ATF22V10BL ATF22V10CEXT
ATF22V10CQES ATF22V10CZ
LATTICE========== nos=16
GAL16V8 ...

You're not the only one to have problems with this Atmel IC with that G540 programmer. I have the exact programmer and had same problems with Atmel. Daryl here (8bit) recommends the Lattice equivalent, if you can find it...

Thanks for the response. When I search Digikey, Lattice only has 1 device ...

Hello, I just purchased a g540 programmer which said it can program the Atmel ATF22V10C chip. I want an address decoder for a project I'm working on.

I found that I always get errors when attempting to program this file from the jedec file. It fails on the "BlanckOperation" (yes it is spelled that ...
