I have almost the same problem: I have a dead CMD RAMlink, and I know that at
least one GAL chip is dead, probably more. Someone gave me a 2nd dead RAMlink
to swap GALs, but it still isn't working. Since I don't know which chip is
dead, and I don't want to go through CMD service in the USA (too expensive),
it would be good to have the instructions for cloning GAL and PAL chips of
Commodore related equipment.

BTW, does anyone know of a cheap DIY GAL programmer, either for PC, Amiga, or
C64?
