PLA16v8 Commodore TED series (16/116/Plus4) PLA replacement - set of 5 PCBs

Did you like the PLA20V8? Would like a GAL PLA for your Commodore 16, 116 or Plus/4? The PLA16V8 is now available.

The PLA16V8 is a PLA replacement for your Commodore 16, 116 or Plus/4 that takes all the good features of the PLA20V8. The PLA equations for the TED series computers fit inro just a single GAL16V8B and a little bit of diode logic.

The PLA16V8 is a Commodore TED series PLA replacement that was designed to be low-cost and easy to build. And, it promises the same level of great compatibility as the PLA20V8.

You can read more about the PLA16V8 on its webpage: https://www.freepascal.org/~daniel/c16pla/

You will receive:

• 5 * Adapter PCB
• 1 * Instruction manual

In order to build a PLA replacement you will need to source the following parts yourself, for each PLA:

• 2 * 14 pin header, round pins
• 1 * DIP socket 20 pins narrow
• 1 * GAL16V8B or ATF16V8 chips, preprogrammed and tested in a C16
• 6 * diode in DO-35 form factor (examples: BAV21, BAT43, BAT85)
• 5.6 kΩ resistor

The ATF16V8B chip needs to be programmed with the PLA16V8 fusemaps, you can download these on the webpage of the PLA16V8. A popular programmer that can be used for programming is the TL866 by XG Autoelectric.

Note: I have made the design of the PLA16V8 open-source, so you will find it offered on many places on the internet. This is my own offering, you will buy it directly from the author.
