Finally had five seconds to look at this again... Basically there is not enough "IO power" in a GAL22V10 :( I'm actually one output pin short in order to put the AB SWAP in that GAL as well :(

so either the ABSWAP just remains as jumpers, or I move to the ATF1502... Which seems a bit of a overkill for this part of the circuit :roll:

In order to keep things simple, I will likely just stick with a normal 22V10 and port over my V7 floppy mod directly.

IDE not finished yet :) Pretty sure Icky broke the boards... Though if by some mega huge sugar-feed turbo effort by everyone, in that we got the IDE2 working quickly, we could consider integrating it.. but I think nothing else will be ready in time for the H2 production run.

BTW Phil, do you have a Atmel programmer to program the ATF15xx series ? (can't remember)

Now Now, the breaking bit is my job and yes I did get an ATF programmer..... its in the pile on the floor, somewhere.

Thats good to know as Exxos and I have been doing some more work on the Flashy Clock board today and have some updates but they will require programming the ATF1508 on the board. I will post on the Flashy Clock thread later.
