I have a "Structured Design Incorporated SD1000 PAL Burner"
which communicates with a pc through the serial port. I
don't have the manual or any software(if needed), but I did
see what looked like some sort of menu when I used a
terminal program to test it.
I imagine it dates from the mid-80's, but it looks like
new. It has an external power supply, a 24-pin ZIF socket,
selectable baud rate, a serial socket, a socket labeled
"e-pac", burn and verify buttons, and pass/fail lights.
I don't guarantee this machine will do anything useful.
But if someone would like it for $30+shipping (it is
light), it is yours.

The last time I used a model 29 was in '85.
They were already pretty old
back then and wouldn't program the then new Altera parts and Lattice parts I
was using. That was later fixed, but too late for me. I bought a cheapie
that still works . . .
Define "cheapie..."
This (well, at least for me) is on topic, because I've always wanted to get
into PAL/GAL/Programmable Logic to "play" with to make projects on
upgrading various classic systems that I have... but a few C-notes is too
much for me to dedicate to a "toy" right now.
Anyone know of a good source for older programmers that would cost in the
$20-50 (USD) range?
Thanks,
