Yes it’s true but my knowledge is not enough to do it. Maybe you would like to take a look at schematic?

The output signal /HPIBGr from pin 18 of the PAL (sheet 17) is stuck at 3 Volts (even disconnecting the pin to the pcb), consequently the /DPEn signal always remains at logic level 1, (sheet 12) so the Peripheral Data Bus is never connected to the Processor Data Bus. (pin /enable 74LS245 IC U54 sheet 12)
I also tested U93 (sheet 12) driving the signal /HPIBGr by a signal injector and is working. 

Obviously trying to read the PAL (which doesn't seem to be protected) I got something that doesn't make any sense.
