Seems to me that not too long ago, AMD made a big splash about 
starting up a PAL users group, and that joining up would be good, and 
one to the good things would be a copy of some version of PALSAM. I
made what I thought at the time was the proper response.

I never heard another word, but have gotten three sets of their 
massive data books (that in it self is GOOD) but nothing more about
users group etc....

There was an issue of Byte about two years back with a collection of
articles about designing with PALs, build a programmer etc.  I
phoned up their BB and down loaded the Fortran source for PALSAM, but
had zero sucess getting it to compile. I have no clue as to the dialect 
of the fortran.

When I finaly couldn't wait any longer, I bought a GAL (Generic Array
Logic) programmer from PLT which included an adequate assembler.
