Seeking sale or loan of Golden Gate 2 card for PAL dumping

[aperez]

Hi folks,

I'd like to have a go at cloning the Golden Gate 2, but that requires me to find one to dump the PALs and GALs. If anyone has one rotting in a closet, or even one that's broken, please consider lending it to me for a week or two. Ideally, you'd be in the US, to keep shipping costs down, but I'm happy to cover any and all costs related to shipping this around to/from Europe as well.

Thanks in advance!

I need to trace out the signal paths as well, and would rather re-verify dumps of the PALs (they're not ROMs) if there are already any in existence.

Let me know when you find it

[aperez]

Yep, just a full clone. It's not that complicated. I'll also be capturing signal data for devices which I can't dump with my HP logic analyzer. I'm happy to pay actual shipping if nobody else pipes up. There is no incoming duty charged for things which arrive here, at least.

This is the one I guess?  http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/goldengate2

That's the one. There are only four GALs; The remaining components are discrete logic.

oh, i think a_perez should be given a prize for most frequent never accomplished project poster with a rate of two per week, if eab threads taken into account. so beware

Merely establishing viability here. You can hate elsewhere.

no hate, just wonder. obviously none is seriously taking it into account anymore.

Responses such as "none is seriously taking it into account anymore." are not only laughable for their atrocious English, but also lay bare your mean-spirited finger-jabbing.

@aperez: my english is what it is.

Unintelligible, you mean? Don't take this the wrong way, but I seriously did not understand what it was you were trying to convey.

you may obviously do what you want with your time, none of my business. but yourself, what would you think of people announcing an enormous load of different projects one after the other of which there was never a mention of any further progress? its just difficult to take it seriously.

I think the actual problem here is that your perception of what I'm up to is fundamentally out of line with reality, and with my stated goals. This is a simple fact-finding mission, to evaluate feasability. I have "announced" nothing, other than my desire to spend an hour or two with a physical Golden Gate 2.

You *SEEM* to just like to troll, and there are plenty of posts to back up my assertion on this front, if one can be bothered to peruse the archive of your posts. It is rare that you have anything of value to contribute.
