Ive got a non working Turbo Force PCB that has 5 EPL16P8 devices on it. Here im assuming they are compatible with PAL16L8 devices and used the PAL dumper hardware to clone them.
They are untested but hopefully they work and someone can test them out.
Channelmaniac has now confirmed that all the Taito Bubble Bobble PALs are working.
Im very pleased about this so massive thanks to him again.
My friend Dragos sent me the PAL for Knights of the Round.
The chip is marked as KR63B and found in the usual position on the B board.
This file was the one found in MAME but he has actually tested it so I don’t see a reason why not to add it.
Thanks to Dragos for testing this
My mate bought a Spectrum+ off eBay recently and it didn’t work.
All we got on powering up was this
First thing I did was check the voltages. They all seemed fine so on with the next test.
The ULA was the only chip that was socketed so I quickly replaced it with a known good one. Still the same fault.
To save myself some time I thought I would desolder the Z80 CPU in order to use the Fluke 9010. Turns out the CPU was at fault and on fitting a new one we got this (bad picture, I know)
Anyway, I carried out the very simple composite mod and this is pretty much all done. Another Spectrum saved
I added 3 more sets of untested PALs today.

As always with these ones from unknown sources, they are untested and may or may not work. Let me know if you try any of them.
