Subject: Re: How exactly do PAL chips get programmed?
But, since you were able to contact the company
founder regarding the
software, is there any chance he could supply you with the revised
PAL code? That would be much simpler than desoldering the other
fellow's PAL and trying to read it out.
The person told me he was pretty sure he did not have any PALs left, and did
not think he still had the software for programming them either. He has yet
to ge back to my on my last email about the software.
No experience with that setup. I'm still working
on my IIfx 16 MB
SIMM project. It's slow at the moment because I need to do an 8" X
11" panel of PCB for economical reasons, and my layout software
doesn't copy and paste traces, just other board features. Very
tedious.

128MB in a IIfx would be interesting if the chips are cheap enough, I am
glad I have 32MB in mine.
Anyway I am not ready to give up just yet. Finding drivers or technical
information for many Mac Nubus cards made in the late 1980's or early 1990's
is very hard to do for some reason. Just about all of the companies that
made those parts are long out of business.
