there is no such thing anyways.
But you can't *buy* tango anymore! The big problem I have with the *free*
stuff I have is that you have no 'fingers' for card edge connectors.
The lack of a 84 pin PLCC socket and a windows upgrade have kept me from
doing CPLD stuff. The fact I am still *hacking*1 on a tube amp has limited
my $$$ for a nice computer design, but I did get my PDP-8 clone going
so I can't say I don't have a classic machine.:)
*1 The improved design went *POOF* with lots of smoke ...
I found out later a diode was shorted for some reason in a full wave bridge.
So that is all I have to say on this list about abandonware.
Now to download the CPLD software --- now legacy software for what I need.
