Programming programmable logic

(1 / 4)


A purchase order is being put through to replace the 303A-001 DATA I/O 
logicpak adaptor with the 303A-011A V02 adaptor. (We get a $50 refund for 
trading in the old one.) 
With the -011a we can program most makes of PALs and IFPLs. Without it we 
cannot program any PALs. The only thing we loose is the ability to program 
the Signetics 100 series (82S100 - 82S106). I have complete literature on 
the -011A. Come by if you want to see it.
The assumption is being made that the ability to program the Signetics 100 
series is no loss. If this is incorrect then speak quickly.

Are the 82S123, 129, 130, 131, 137, and 185 part of the Signetics 100 series
that we will no longer be able to program?

RE: DIO

No. We will still be able to program all proms.
The 82S100 series refers to 82S100 through 82S103.

programming logic part 2

(4 / 4)


I need to clarify my earlier message on programming programmaple logic.

The 82S100 series refers only to 82S100 through 82S103.
The LOGICPAK and its adaptors only program programmable logic (PLAs,IFPLs, 
FPLA, PALs, etc. 
PROMS are not affected in any way as they are programed using the UNIPAK.
I.E. You can still program 82S23,123,129,130,131,137,147,185 ETC.

Sorry for the confusion.
