Palasm?

A plug in module for PALASM? What would give you that idea? I've seen only
one place on a model 29 for anything to plug in, and that's the programming
site. (there are several different ones) The data was typically fed to the
Model 29 via a serial port, and in JEDEC form. The model 29 translated the
jedec file into whatever signals were needed to program the device.

The last time I used a model 29 was in '85. They were already pretty old
back then and wouldn't program the then new Altera parts and Lattice parts I
was using. That was later fixed, but too late for me. I bought a cheapie
that still works . . .

Is there a feature that plugs in the intelligence to compile Palasm files
into the JEDEC? I'd be VERY surprised to learn that. When the local
surplus dealer move out of state, he tossed about a dozen of these model 29
units into the dumpster. Since they had no programming sites, I left them
there.
