#132790 - Out of Market. Hmmm
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Richard:
I agree that there were many issues with these PROMs and getting them programmed. There _were_ also issues with them "growing back" fuses that were meant to be blown.

Slow....I think not. I many times used small PROMS in designs and they were quite fast. Even the ones I used back in the early '80s had delays on the order of 50ns. Compared to standard TTL they were actually faster than two-three stages of minimized product term logic. But they were not low power!! A Schottky 32x8 or 256x8 bipolar PROM of the time could suck well over 100 mA out of the 5V rail.

I used this type of part many many times to well after the PAL revolution started. One thing there were extremely good for was FSM hardware design.
