Hi Caius,Exactly.You must burn the .JED into a PAL20L8
Anyway, if you can try to convert the fusemap to GAL20V8 (or GAL22V10 it it does not fit).I can try it for you if you want.
Following up on this topic a little more in detail now as Ive started to understand my minipro functionality a bit better now- I was wondering if you could help me understand a few points - Are there programmers that can burn pals directly or must we always convert the pal to a gal (and the reason we do this is why? purely because PAL's are onetime programmable), as opposed programmable gals.
I looked up the device list on the minipro and can select from various gals and also AMTEL device's. I've attached a link to a gal equivalent pal pdf which I am going to use as a reference chart to determine which gal is needed for a said pal- then it's only a matter of converting the jedec file via a utility ie: paltogal is there windows based gui at all?- and I assume all type pals can be converted for use with an equivalent gal ic's?)
With regard to Amtel's are these just CMOS based now but are TTL equivalent PLA's (if i have read the datasheet correctly), and for clarity if I wished to replace for argument sake a pal16l8 with ATF16v8b is this ok?
Im sure this is pretty generic stuff for you but If you please just confirm if I am on the right track with above before I stuck tinkering it would be appreciated.
