Here is the schematic in .pdf of revision A1 of the PCL-560 card together the .jed file intended to program into a GAL 16V8.
Remove U2 and U3 of the rev. A1 board and put the programmed GAL16V8 into U2 socket, this works, It has been tested OK.
Schematic of A1 revision is like the schematic of A2 revision (A2 revision does not have U3 chip)

The micro board and the connector are in that way to be 'compatible' with the Advantech Pod (remember? one idea is to 'emulate' the ISA adapter with a micro serially connected to my portable). The strange supply circuit have a resistor in series to avoid serious damages to the pal/gal/peel/... and the reason is that the micro I use only have pull-up resistors so to recognize tri-state outputs I cannot put the device pin low safelly. To see if an output is driven high I briefly short using the micro to ground one pin at time. The '876 have a max output current of about 20mA so with the resistor I'm hoping to not damage anything (and so far I didn't). But I can change my mind and the circuit to. Having the device supply controllable by the micro I can also surelly reset the pal/gal/peel/... forcing in the registered devices in a known state. And here is my bet to reverse, at least for the non asynchronous machines, also the registered devices. The micro fw is written in jal, the pc sw in gawk

if you have any different versions of the software to be used with the Advantech PC-UPROG programmer, thank you to send it to me.
