Hello!
I am looking for some of the original MMI PAL devices. My favorite
vendor shows only the PAL16R8 for example, (TIBPAL version) but I am
looking for the part numbers that MMI contributed:
PAL16C1
PAL16L2
PAL20L2
PAL20C1

We need these to update a series of designs that we made for a company
some years previously. We actually offered to redo them into a
PAL22V10 series and other examples of programmable logic. But they
were insistent and pointed out the exclusive nature of the contract.
Of course the lawyer who helped draft it has already retired but I
didn't point out that one.

Of course programming them will be the problem, but I believe I can
obtain a programmer from the vendor.

Of course if someone can steer me towards a firm who now has the
rights to make them, that would be nice.

Many programmers have modes which will program GALs directly from Jedec files originally compiled
for the earlier devices, so no need to redo..
MMI became part of AMD, then Vantis, then Lattice, who still make GALs.
