Many of Atari's games used GALs to control the logic for memory addressing, video, and sound. Unfortunately, most of the GALs on shipping Atari boards have the security fuse blown, meaning that if one goes bad, you'll have a tough time trying to make a replacement. Furthermore, since GALs are EEPROM based, they are subject to deterioration over time.

Luckily, some equipment does exist that can read these protected GALs. So, as a service to anyone out there who needs a replacement GAL to fix an Atari board, I've decided to set up this page where you can grab the necessary JEDEC files for any GALs you need to replace.

Disclaimer: Although these reads were taken from working boards, I have not programmed replacements for these to verify that the JEDEC files are accurate. If you have any successes or failures using these, let me know and I'll annotate the lists below.
