#27 SlimPLA - the compact version of Commodore 64 replacement PLA chip
I'm building a "slim" version of the popular PLA20V8. This version of the PCB is very compact, only as wide as the original PLA.
All credits for the original work on the PLA20V8 go to the author, project page here:
www.freepascal.org/~daniel/c64pla/
You can get the SlimPLA PCB from PCBWay here, a small portion of your order will be awarded to me and will support this channel's future activities, thanks :)

Word of warning: please don't skip the "programming" section, especially if you're using the MiniPro programmer, I noticed a bug in my version of the programmer where it doesn't load the file correctly when loading the 2nd file. You have to close the software and re-open the file to be correctly loaded into the buffer.

    Thank you very much. My module was a little bit different, and the diode I needed to replace next to the regulator LM1117, in my board was just one diode. You can just take off your diode and put a jumper in the same place, but never connect your arduino in voltages upper than 5V when connected in your PC.This diode is a protection, he never let the voltage upper 5V back to the usb cable and burn your usb port. greetings from Brazil.
