I didn't think the one om Manx (that you pointed me to the other day) 
contained the PAL equations. I may have missed them, of course. If they 
aren't there, and the one mentioned here does contain them, then it's 
certainly work scanning...

However, the PALs in an 11/730 are not protected (the security fuse is 
intact), and when I had access to a good PAL programmer, I actually 
desoldered all the PALs in my 11/730 and read them out. So the PAL 
equations would be trivial to reconstruct given the schematics, which are 
on Manx.
