    Unfortunately at some point I killed the A2000-HC card by accidentally putting one of the ROMs back in the wrong way. Yeah, I know, real smooth.

    I doubt it would've worked in an A4000 anyway (which was where it would have gone had it survived and had the ROM update been successful).

G'day Nostalgiac, wouldn't have a copy of the elusive 3.07 code by any chance?

Couldn't do the HC2 without the PAL as you pointed out, I don't believe you can copy them either, you need the original code to program a PAL in most cases I think.

If PAL chips aren't protected from being read, one with a programmer could read its contents and program another chip. AFAIK PAL chips on GVP boards are not protected, in fact trying to diagnose a faulty GVP A2000-SCSI+8 I read the PALs for checking the checksum and they were readable (so the problem is another one).
