"what would be a good place (book, web
site, etc) for someone to get started using PALs/GALs ?"

the old AMD or MMI catalogs had loads of info on using them.

as densities and the internal complexities of plds increased,
companies provide less info on the internals of the parts, and
charge more for their tools to use them.

I was talking to a returnee to Apple from Cygnus about free
software over beers on Friday, and one place where open source
hasn't made much of a dent in software prices (yet) is electrical
CAD. Guess it's too specialized, or you can't get the info out
of manufacturers to write your own tools..
