There are Lattice and various other brand GALS on Ebay in DIP package for $2 on up.. I was following this because I just bought a TOP2005 programmer today for $20, So I could dump the eprom in my 6502 based robot arm and post it .. I also posted alot of hard to find info on the Top20xx Programmers on this thread.. If anyone needs help on the software..

GAL16V8D-15LP GAL16V8D 15ns 64x32 AND Array $0.85
GAL20V8B-25LP GAL20V8B 25ns 64x40 AND Array $1.50
GAL22V10D-25LP GAL22V10D 25ns 132x44 AND Array $1.95
And now I am curious if the TOP2005 will program a GAL so I can alter the memory map on its board.. And I was looking at buying Atmel device till I started reading this thread.. Would Lattice or could someone give a brand that is known to work on these cheap china Programmers.. Has anyone had success with Lattice GAL's on a TOP2005 or its many siblings..
Question: Is there a universal freeware app to create the Jedec array configuration file to burn into a (Anything but Atmel) GAL.. Lattice wants you to get a 1yr licence for their software.. I downloaded Atmel WinCUPL, Is that OK to use with all Brands or is there better software available..
