Thank you,Chuck. But according to its manual here ftp://ftp.altera.com/pub/lit_req/document/sig_ug/pldshell.pdf it does not support PEEL PLDs at all. I need a compiler that supports that fusemap.You might have better luck using PLDASM--I think it was part of PLDShell. That used to be freely available from Intel, but I think it was sold to Altera. Regardless, I suspect there are some copies wandering around the web.
Does anybody have this ancient free software? I need to compile some equations with it for PEEL 18CV8 PLD. Thank you.
I think ABEL and some versions of CUPL could handle PEEL devices. The 18CV8 was a very advanced device but few applications used all its capabilities. Perhaps you could try to see if your equations will assemble properly with a GAL16V8 or PAL16V8? Can you post an example equation?
I don't know if this will help, but SMS PLDASM claims to support the 18CV8. So perhaps you have a way of going from logic equations to a JEDEC fusemap.
I share your frustration in finding support for old programmable devices. The various logic lines have been passed around so much that a lot of information and tools are simply unobtanium.
Any chance of using a plain old GAL in place of the 18CV8?

The site is danish, and thank you. I have already solved my problem with the small dos sms assembler that Chuck pointed to, but I've also donwnloaded this one and will check it some day.Depending on how bold you are, you can download a zip folder called WinPlace 232-beta from this Russian sounding webpage. I ran a Norton scan successfully on the zip folder but who knows. There is also a link to the WinPLACE manual. Norton gave the page a green 'Site is Safe' light.
