PAL v PLA

I think that this page is confusing Programmable Array Logic with Programmable Logic Array FrankFlanagan (talk) 13:51, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You may be right.
What can we do to make this less confused?
I see that Dieter Mueller hand-built a few boards out of discrete transistors that are more like a PLA than a PAL[1][2].
I only hesitate to tear out all mention of PAL in this article, and replace it with PLA, because I suspect that replacing "PAL chips" with "either PLA chips or PAL chips" would be more correct.
In particular, the "Programmable Array Logic" and "programmable logic array" articles imply that some minicomputers used one or more "PAL chips" in the CPU, while other minicomputers used one or more "PLA chips" in the CPU.
