=="Programmable Array Logic" not "Programmable array logic"==
I propose changing the capitalization of the title to "Programmable Array Logic", per naming conventions. "Programmable Array Logic" is a proper noun (though "programmable logic device", a broader term, is not); it was also a trademark of MMI.
Line 4 ⟶ 7:
==The first PALs==
I reverted {{user|209.78.18.231}}'s edits because they are possibly wrong and his other edits are POVed and possibly sneaky vandalism. The one source I found said that MMI had the first not IBM. However, I don't know enough of the topic to make clear call either way. --[[User:Sunborn|<
:Yes, you don't know enough about the topic. First: IBM but not for sale to the public, Second: Signetics FPLA's, Third: MMI PAL's(tm)

Two of the very first PAL Programmers were the Structured Design SD-10 and [http://home.att.net/~betty.p.mercado/Old_Test_Equipment/SD20_PAL.jpg "SD20"]. They had the PALASM software built-in and only required a CRT terminal to enter the equations, fuze and verify the part.

I took out the dead link to the photo of the SD20. I will try to upload a good photo to wiki common area.[[User:Dmercado|Dmercado]] ([[User talk:Dmercado|talk]]) 16:44, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
==Successors==
I remember the company ICT as Integrated Circuit Technology. [[User:Dmercado|Dmercado]] ([[User talk:Dmercado|talk]]) 04:45, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
== Mistake ==
This article is called "Programmable Array Logic" but describes [[Generic array logic]]: GAL has OLMCs, while only few PAL devices has. You can verify it searching with google: [http://poppy.snu.ac.kr/~kchoi/class/lc_intro/programmable_logic.pdf],[http://www.sapteka.net/TheArchitectureofPLD.htm], [http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~mperkows/PS-2000/p2.pdf],[http://onlinedictionary.datasegment.com/word/programmable+array+logic]. [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Programmable_Array_Logic Common's category]'s wrong too. <span style="font-family:Bookman Old Style;">[[User:^musaz|<span style="color:#005000;">^musaz</span>]] [[User talk:^musaz|<span style="color:black;">''' † '''</span>]]</span> 22:30, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
