RE: PLA replacement for C64

Some other tests....

Phi0 looks ok,  phi2 look strange not really square, slow rising edge
No CS on  vic2 / 6526 / roms
No ras/cas on drams

Not yet tested a new PLA, but my next target is the 6510 itself  (r/w stuck
to read)

One strange things in my tests, with a power cartridge
I got the power cartridge screen garbaged but possible to recognize the
screen

That's especially true with the x464 chips. If they run /burning/ hot,
they're surely dead (and no startup guaranteed). It's less common with
x164 but happens sometimes too. As you mentioned - either way.
