It won't work, because a GAL is too small to hold the contents of a C64 PLA.
This is what Jens Schönfeld's universal PLA replacement board is made for.
The device is ready for sale, so please ask him about availability and price.
His c64 page is at www.c64upgra.de, or visit his main page at www.ami.ga.
Jens is very slow in shipping products, because he has so many new
developments going on (c-one, Ethernet add-on for RR, ...), so good luck in
getting something from him. For Amiga products, he has resellers that have a
much faster service, but I don't think he has resellers for his C64 stuff.
