I use AliExpress quite a bit, normally they have free shipping and the delivery times are good. I'm in New Zealand so Australia should be similar.

I don't want to spend a great deal for a while, because my family and I are going to England soon-ish. AU$60 is a biggish spend for me. I'm a bit of a tightwad by habit, because I'm not regularly employed and I had virtually no money of my own for quite a while.
Digi-key's free shipping threshold is $60 as well, but with them, I actually found a logic probe in about 20 minutes(at a guess. And for some reason, a logic probe is considered a specialty item). I remember wasting at least an hour on Mouser's site a while back, looking for the same thing. Mouser is good if you know exactly what you're looking for(like a 65C02), but if you're looking for a non-specific logic probe, it's either a mass of data to sort through, or it's not in the section you looked in, or you get probes for logic analyzers, which is not what I'm after. That's been my experience with Mouser's website.
I don't particularly want to go to Amazon, as their Australian site is a mockery, from what I've seen. I do prefer to buy within my own country where possible. It very often isn't(especially in my areas of interest), which irks me.

jds: I'll have a look at AliExpress, see what they have on offer.

BDD: I have finished the schematic, but I'll wait until tomorrow to upload it, so I can go to the library to scan it in. Trying to photograph things like that is hard to get right.
As far as the Atmel PLD goes, would pulling it out and sticking it on a breadboard with a few wires as inputs and an LED array be acceptable? Even if I can't find the equation file for it, I know what it's intended to do. I've put the intended truth tables on the schematic as well.

I got one (B&K Precision DP21) via Amazon to Japan, a year or two ago. Very reasonable shipping.

The BK DP-21 is what I use and recommend. I have two of them, in fact, a sort of poor man's two-channel logic analyzer. :D

At that price they're basically giving it away. That probe has got good specs and has all necessary indications.

I fully understand. However, you are at an impasse with your machine right now and need at least a basic digital diagnostic tool to rule out a hardware bug as the cause of your trouble. The probe that Ed mentioned above is dirt cheap and more than good enough for your purposes.

I was going to suggest that. Everything you are doing in the GAL is basic Boolean logic, which means simple lows and highs at the inputs will reveal what the GAL is doing. What I would do is tie each input to Vcc through a 3.3K resistor and then use clip leads to ground inputs that are supposed to be low for any given condition. You could then use LEDs on the outputs (with resistors to limit current) to see what is going on. Or you could do your observing with the new logic probe that you are going to buy. :D The probe would be better, since you will get a positive indication for both output states, which a simple LED setup won't give you. Either way, such testing should conclusively prove the logic is working—or not.

I am astounded. I looked on that site at least three times, and I missed that item. It looks suspiciously like they're on clearance, too. At that price, even if it's a dud, it'd be worth a shot. I'll order one from the stockist in town when I go in.

I have attached the schematic.

The logic probe is on order, along with a few pad-per-hole breadboards.
Looking at the Jaycar page, they may not have any left, but again, it's worth a shot.

I hope that it is simply a sort of typo, but your memory map on the schematic shows mainly "0" and rarely "1" for the various /CE or /CS lines. A "1" in the rightmost part means "selected" I assume, which means a low level on the corresponding select line. Otherwise all the time 4 out of 5 bus members were selected simultaneously...

edit(1):
Similar is your logic diagram for PHI2 and RWB. When PHI2 is one either /RD or /WR but never both should be "0". During PHI2 = "0" they should both be "1".

I've made that sort of mistake before, when I was writing the the PLD equations.
Those are truth tables; the 1s and 0s don't necessarily match up to the signals. Phase 2 is signal-wise because it doesn't really have a "True" or a "False". 1 is asserted, and 0 is negated.
And I just realised that I made a mistake in there, too. The reset logic is signal-wise, not truth-wise like it should be. I have corrected that on the original, but I can't really edit that PDF. I should have had the scanner send it as an image...

This is my intended memory map:

$5FFF

Perhaps you can list which signal is connected to which pin on your GAL or post your .PLD file, so one can edit it.
Currently you have 15 signals connected. 18 are possible. You can add more address lines to enlarge your RAM area and squeeze the IO a little more.

I haven't changed the PLD programming in ages. I'm still using the one attached to this post:http://forum.6502.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4499&start=45#p52226

If you didn't get this super cheap logic probe BigEd found or delivery takes weeks and you have a spare region on your breadboard and a spare 74HC14 you may build a (very very simple) logic probe yourself:

The signal is fed through R1 and twice inverted by IC1a and IC1b. This is then applied to two LEDs, the green is lit when signal is low, the red is lit when signal is high.
If there is no signal (open circuit or high impedance) IC1a, R2, C1 should oscillate, causing both LEDs to turn on.
The path through IC1f is to catch positive pulses of short duration. They would discharge C3 rapidly causing D5 to turn on for a while because charging C3 takes much longer.
This should work for short negativ pulses as well (IC1c..C2..D6).
The dashed magenta colored lines are an option. They parallel IC1f and IC1c so that charge and discharge currents doubles. This could help to make even shorter pulses visible. R5 may then omitted.

But beware: none of this is tested, its just an :idea: :!: :lol:

There, of course, is no excuse to not get it. :lol:

Just a friendly suggestion: it's best to avoid color in schematics. There are one or two folks :roll: around here who have some degree of color-blindness. :D One of them has little visual acuity in his left eye. :evil:

BTW, variations on your circuit have been around for some time, so I expect that it will work as intended.
