Title: Is there any chance to get the GAL program for the Macrosystems De-Interlace card?
Post by: keropi on September 27, 2007, 09:04:06 PM

...after an accident, I have concluded that on my Macrosystem De-Interlace A2000 sd/ff the 2nd GAL is dead... I read inputs but not outputs, plus I only get horizontal monitor sync... vertical is missing... the GAL in question is pointed from the red arrow...
I can program a replacement one, but I need the program for it... anyone has any info on the matter?
thanks! :-D

You can try to ask (http://www.macrosystem.de/e/contact.html) them, but I doubt they can/want to help.

LO, I sent an email... I doubt though they still have it, I bet it is lost in oblivion...
