[sdiy] Interesting blog with Roland Alpha Juno details

Thanks!  I will pass this info on. So, not being a PLD guy, I do recall them always being poo-pooed because of how much current they use.  Are this substantially better on that front? The quiescent  current looks really reasonable to me, but I don't have any frame of reference to compare to whatever todays version of a 22v10 is.

Well it's not in DIP, but these might be worth looking at for small logic applications.
