PAL brute forcing using closed loop feedback w/ open-tl866

The following parts are currently of interest:

Install open-tl866 bitbang firmware

Insert chip in normal socket position (notch as close to lever as possible)

Run:

python3 pal16xx.py --part PAL16L8 out.jl

This should take about 6 seconds

Now convert to "EPROM" format so it can be fed into existing post processing tools:

python3 jl2eprom.py out.jl out.bin

This should give you a 1 KB .bin file

This should give equivilent output to say something like this

TODO: this tool expects 2 KB input? Do we need to pad?
