Re: QL-Expansion slot, where to get the edge connector?

They're great connectors, but they're not very dense.

Re: QL-Expansion slot, where to get the edge connector?

Why do you think it's called a DIN connector? ;)

Re: Recommedations for GAL IC and Programmer

I have been using 16V8 and 20V8 with no problems using a generic programmer. As long as they're not faster than approximately 60-70ns they seem to reliably work. Faster than that and the noise of the transitions is too much. One exception to this was a bunk of remarked parts from an ebay supplier in...

Re: Ql microdrive cartridges

I'd like to add that I have a LARGE batch of RWAP's cartridges here that all have the pads replaced. I've been trying to get them to Rich, but there's too many urgent holes that needed filling.

Re: What is Best?

You should remove Sandy. I am still regrouping from the financial defeat there.
