- I would not trust a home-built GAL programmer, because the programming
- algorithms on these chips seem to change quite regularly.

- So what is the solution for the Amiga?? One thing you can do is run a PC
- programmer under a bridgeboard. Another solution is to use my
- GoldenGateII bridgecard along with your favorite PC programmer. If you run
- CrossPC (or soon PCTask), you can run the PC software under the emulator
- and use your programmer. You can run Xeltek programmers that way, and they
- are the cheapest universal programmers around.

- Email me if you are interested.
