Tokamac build and programming XC1736 chips

[Phipli]

If I remember, the datasheet for the... AMD clones?? gives more details regarding the programming algorithm doesn't it? I'd have to go back and look. How bad would it be to make a cheap modern one? What are the programming voltages? Nothing that couldn't be overcome with a MOSFET and a 12 or 24V supply? Or a voltage boost circuit?

The Galep programmer can also do the XC1736, Galep-5 is still in production, but pricey. From time to time Galep-III and IV shows up at Ebay and Kleinanzeigen, with some patience you can find one for less than 100€, but they are still pricey, and you need a computer with parallell port unless you're getting the Galep-5.
