    Description

    Is your C64 suffering? Most common C64 dead issue by a long mile is a faulty PLA
    Designed with proper machined pins - not cheap stuff, and A-Grade
    genuine
    Lattice Semiconductor components
    As with all of my stuff - The PLA will get a final test before shipment.
    100% Compatible, and extensively tested (Zaxxon, Super Zaxxon, Epyx Fastload, etc)
    Commodore 64 PLA replacement - 100% Compatible GAL solution 906114-01.
    Works on  Assy 326298, 250407, 250425, 250466, 251103 (SX64) - Does not work on the short board assy 250469 as that uses a different type of chip altogether (easy to recognize, has a LOT more pins).
    Background:
    The Programmable Logic Array (PLA) is a hardware programmable chip in the C64 which only contains combinatorial logic.
    Designed by Dave DiOrio, the PLA is used to create chip select signals received from various other signals. These signals control which chip is to be connected to the data bus. Therefore the PLA is responsible for dictating the memory map of the C64 and enables the implementation of bank switching. Commodore engineer James Redfield said it was the "glue logic to tie everything together". The final version of the PLA logic was REV3.
    The original PLA chip is VERY failure prone, especially the earliest models - I am offering a worthy replacement to bring your dead C64 back to life!
