Reliable sources for GALs (Lattice 22V10)

[linker3000]

I've just checked 10 from an eBay supplier I've used for SRAM in the past with no problems - and only 1 out of 10 programmed & verified and is now in use.

How's UTSource for GALs - any recent experiences?

Any other reliable, named sources (I'm in the UK).

Thanks.

Edit: Supplier was chips-fans. 8 X GALs failed to verify both the intended code and a full burn of zeroes. 1 X was reported as a chip failure/overcurrent. I had to haggle for a refund and finally accepted 65% of price paid

Not a true Lattice 22V10, but I believe the following chip are equivalent (and backward compatible with):

Regrettably the programming algorithm is very different and the TL866 doesn't support them, so I need Lattice ones.

Ah, alas.

Lattice discontinued their entire GAL product line in 2010, so it's going to be tough to find them anywhere. I have one piece of a 22V10 on order from Jameco (USA) to see which manufacturer's product I get. Jameco is still listing the Lattice product as available.

That's a Microchip (formerly Atmel) product, which cannot be programmed by most programmers.
