I could program my GALs with the MiniPro TL866.

In theory I can program them with my Dataman S4 but I don't have the necessary adapter which costs about 4x what it would cost to build one.

Sadly Dataman don't publish the circuit

Maybe I will keep an eye out on eBay.

Since you are okay with PLCC, maybe try MAX7000 series CPLD from Altera. Those are 5V Flash-based parts and they can be reprogrammed in circuit using JTAG and a USB Blaster.

The MAX3000 series are also 5V tolerant and less expensive. I use them all the time for glue logic to save board space or if I'm not 100% sure how the circuit will end up functioning. It's like having programmable copper.

Other than that, very nice.  :-+

Starting to look like everything will go on the board OK



Current plan, the layout has needed a few more minor tweaks.



+5V routing added and gate connections as it makes it easier to wire it up. I just print out the layout A4 sized and work from that.

Hmmm, just realised I don't have +5V on the right edge of the board for the TTL level serial port and the parallel port connectors. Could be tricky to get it across.
