I have apparently fried my u8g chip. I see it frequently referred to as a PAL chip. is this the same thing even though it says GAL?

It was Ed @ GPE who had the low-cost alternative for this chip and he lost the code to remake it:

Steve Young still has the chip for $20. He lists it with the A8 controller on this page:

I think I read that wrong. Looks like Ed at GPE lost the code. Https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/u8-g-chip-gottlieb-display-issues
Edit. I see this is confirmed before I entered my post

Yeah, can't find a link to the part, though.
http://mrpinballa.cart.net.au/details/2105090.html. is this one OK? And is the company OK? I had never heard of them personally...
Quoted from viperrwk:Just call or email Steve and ask for XO1079. He does list it with the A8 controller on the page I linked to above.

OK. I will call him tomorrow. Thanks! I had already read you helping others with system 3 info that I found on here and you have already been VERY helpful
