Could I “advise” S100 people to lookout/get GAL programmers. I’m a total convert to these chips by now. All future boards I will do will probably use them. Including the future IDE-V3 and a 16MB static RAM board using 4 SMD chips. The slowly evolving 80486 S100 prototype board has 5 on board and even that is a tight board fit with over 1000 traces!
The Wellon VP290 seems to work with most chips. However for reasons I don’t understand it requires the Erase, Program Verify & Secure options to be checked for LATTICE 22V10 programming. Also using a different manufacture designation for these LATTICE GALS will burn them out.

If I had a way to send it back for a refund, I would. I has successfully programmed any Lattice 22V10, but Atmel is easier to get. The Wellon has Atmel 22V10 in their support list. Interestingly, the Wellon VP-290 looks every bit like the Needham EMP-290. I read somewhere that Needham may have sold their programmers off to a Chinese company. Anyone know the details?

Fortunately my Needham's EMP-11 programs GAL22V10B's just fine. If anyone in the USA needs GAL's programmed - I'd be happy to program them at no cost (just cover the return postage). - Gary -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "N8VEM-S100" group.
