Commodore 64 PLA (906114-0) replacement PLA20V8:

If you are a bit familiar with the hardware of the Commodore 64 you know that the PLA chip in the Commodore 64 is perhaps the most failing chip of the entire Commodore 64 today.
You will find references to these chips under the following references 906114-01, 251064-01 and the 82S100.
This PLA (Programmable Logic Array) is the custom chip that manages the memory map and memory bank switching.
Unfortunately, these chips are no longer available for a long time, if you find one that is usually used and the (Long-term) operation is not guaranteed.

The PLA20V8 is also available in a slim(mer) edition.

This is the same design as the original, but only slimmed down by putting 1 chip on the bottom.
Comes with a plastic hood to mimic a standard chip somewhat more.
Can be used with or without the plastic hood.

The PLA20V8 is the brainchild of Daniël Mantione, who devised an alternative to the functionality of the Commodore PLA chip based on 2 GAL chips.
And that approach, according to all kinds of tests, resulted in the 'most compatible' PLA replacement, without any known drawbacks.
In fact, it's so compatible that there's no need to do anything for any revision of the C64.

Does the  PLA20V8 work  in all C64 motherboards?

Yes, except for the shortboard, The shortboard (assy 250469) uses a completely different type of chip.
The following boards have been successfully tested, Assy : 326298, 250407, 250425, 250466, 251103 (SX64), and C64 Reloaded MK1.
Assy : 250441 and KU-14194HB have not yet been tested, but in all likelihood no compatibility issues are to be expected there either. For all tested boards, both the PAL and NTSC versions have been tested.

Prima vervanger voor de PLA / Perfect replacement for a PLA

I ordered the Slim version of the PLA replacement from Gotek, and with it, my beautiful but unfortunately dead C64 was working again!
It's great that someone still offers these replacements. It was quickly arranged and definitely worth the few euros.

Translated review from the Dutch Website : Ik heb de Slimversie van de PLA vervanger bij Gotek besteld, en daarmee mijn mooie maar helaas niet meer werkende C64 weer aan de praat gekregen! Fijn dat iemand deze vervangers nog levert. Snel geregeld en voor die paar Euro zeker de moeite waard.

De vervanging werkt prima! / The replacement works fine !

Fast service, nice packaging and now my C64 works again!.

Great that the 2 GALs are already programmed and that only replacing the defective PLA is necessary.
Removing the old chip was difficult, with a tin piston first freed the pins and then heated the chip with hot air and carefully loosened it.

Translated review from the Dutch Website : Snelle service, mooie verpakking en nu werkt mijn C64 weer!. Top dat de 2 GAL's al zijn geprogrammeerd en dat alleen het vervangen van de defecte PLA nodig is. Verwijderen van oude chip vond ik lastig, met een tin zuiger eerste de pinnen vrij gemaakt en daarna met hete lucht de chip verwarmen en voorzichtig los gemaakt.

Top PLA!

Fast service, good product. Old pla was indeed the problem, new pla works immediately and the c64 shows image again!

Translated review from the Dutch Website : Snelle service, goed product. Oude pla was inderdaad het probleem, nieuwe pla werkt direct en de c64 geeft weer beeld!
