Hi, frankly I never saw nor used this product, but as I was playing with Max II I was thinking that perhaps it would fit one of the altera cpld there is also the EPM7128SLC84-10N but its bigger (PLCC84) and about 4 times the price of the 7064S... perhaps that if there is a shortage of 6525 this method would work.... -- didier Le 26/07/2012 14:02, davee.roberts@fsmail.net a écrit : > I have already coded up the VHDL for a 6525 TPI running in MODE 0 only for the CBM II 8088 coprocessor.
