Ah yes. The 82S100 and related devices. They were less flexible than later
PALs in that there were no flip-flops on the outputs and no internal
feedback terms, but were more flexible in that you could program both the
AND matrix (like a PAL) and the OR matrix (to decide how many (and which)
product terms to use for each output).
