I have done some checking on my TL866II tonight...

TL866-II, Latest firmware V8.07:

Lattice GAL22V10D-10LPH x5 + Lattice GAL22V10D-10LPN x5: 10/10 OK (Programmed and verified). I also pulled and copied a working Lattice 22V10 and the replacement is working fine on my Z80 board.

Lattice GAL20V8B-25LP: 3/3 OK. 2 complained about overcurrent or device error until I re-seated them.

Atmel ATF16V8B-15PU: 2/2 OK

I have some ATF22V10s already on order but they have not arrived yet. I do have a TL866A somwhere and I'll track it down and check how it programs, unless someone gets to doing it first.

HI Nigel,

Thank you for the update!  I have tried programming a Lattice GAL22V10D for my Z80 board but it did not program correctly.  I will try the updates you mentioned and give it another try.

Best regards,

Tom
