Hello good people.
I want to program gate arrays (pld/pla) using an ibm-xt. I would like to
get the software really cheap; shareware ?, and build my own programmer
for the pla/pld. I've seen some (at JDR electronics for about $800.00) 
but the price is too steep; I must purchase the PC too because I don't
own one. 

Does anybody have any references that I can use to get up to speed. Again,
I would really prefer to build my own hardware programmer if feasible, that
is not too sophisticated; > 50 components, and not too expensive, > $200. 

Thankyou again,

I would like to take this time to thank the people who have answered my 
questions before with all kinds of good stuff. I appreciate and will
continue to value all of your responses!
