Yes, that's what I said.  The first GALs, the Rev As were made for 
slower speeds where they didn't have to deal with the problems caused 
by the deficiencies of the early 65816s. As speed increased they had 
problems and made versions of the GALs to compensate. After they redid 
the 65816 then you were better off having Rev A GALs since the 
problems later GALs were suposed to fix were no longer there.
