        This is a non-issue....I'll make the programmed PLDs/PALs
available either at or near the cost of the unprogrammed part.

        BTW: Al Kossow volunteered to burn a MACH210 for me (The
Exorcisor fits VERY nicely in a MACH210 -- 71% utilization, and fewer pins
on the package than any of the others that I fitted to) so I'm going to do
that to make my "prototype." I may wind up buying the adaptor to my
programmer anyway...
