So the benefits of pals/gals are not so much
integration or a high degree of, but rather
modification? You wouldn't want to, for instance,
attempt a *reproduction* (of say a unobtainium piece
of silicon) by using a bunch of galpals instead of an
FPGA?
How much does the typical programmer cost? Are they
*easy enough* to build?
Most of the New Eprom programmers I have seen do GALS.
However the last crop of programmers are windows USB that
I have been looking around on the net. Atmel has a nice
CPLD programing kit for about $100 US. Most low end
EPROM programmers are about the same price. The only
reason I am not using the CPLD's is the PCB package
I am using does not have a 84 Pin PLCC thru the hole
footprint.

PS. The real reason is no round tuit's for the footprint
once I decide on the CPU instruction set.
