Armed with the April and May issues of Elector Electronics, I am poised to
build a GAL programmer. However before I start I wanted to get some more
info. I believe that the answers to these questions may benefit other
folk so posting is best.

1. Has anyone built the Elector programmer? Did it work?
2. Does anyone have FTP'able software that will convert equations to
   JEDEC files? If not I guess I'll fork over the $20 to get the
   software that drives the Elector board.
3. Does anyone know the programming pinout for the 20V10 and the 22V10?
   Might they be the same as the 20V8?

For those of you who are interested I don't plan on using the design as
given in Elector as given. I have the following changes:

1. Convert the interface from parallel to serial. By doing so I can use the
programmer on other platforms.

2. I'm going to use a 68HC705k1 as the brains. It'll set the row, shift the
data, control the programming voltages, and do the serial communications.
Pretty nifty for a $4 16 pin controller.

3. Instead of having double voltage control circuits and 1 socket, I plan to
use only one voltage control circuit and multiple sockets.

Anyway I'm way past throwing away using 74XX glue. But 500-700 bucks for
a programmer is too much for me. Any help you can throw my way would be
appriciated.
