I use the Xilinx XC9500 family of CPLDs. They are 5 volt
and come in PLCC packages. (You can socket these and
even get wire wrap sockets.)
The design software is free and the programming is
simple. The official download cable is $95 but I have
built several for under $15. (Xilinx publishes the
schematic.)
You can find links to the Xilinx web site plus a design
example (floppy disk controller) on this web page.
