        .. That«s kinda expensive.. To order a preprogrammer GAL from
        Alta Engineering..

        I found this guy called franz polzer. He has programmer to wich
        I don«t need to order any expensive pre-programmed parts..

        I thought so too. Just had to ask.
        Btw, where did you get the algorithms?? 
        I«ll propably take the easy way, and keep on using pics, but anyways..
