Yeah, it's really nice, I'm glad I learned how to micro solder now, and the GAL I had works perfectly. I think I'll build another so that I can have both the VGA adapter and the Z80 CPM card.

If you still want a PCB, let me know, but given they are very time consuming to build (Mine took a couple of days in total) I won't be able to birdseed it.

@rubber_jonnie yes please for the card, I’ll be fine with the soldering once I’ve got the bits. Being cheeky, would you have a spare GAL you could program and sell me too?

The GAL is a bit difficult since I only have one spare and want to build another that works as an Applicard Z80 CPM doodad.

I do have some more coming though if you can wait.
